The aim of the VALUMICS project is to provide decision-makers, in food value chains, with a comprehensive set of approaches and tools that will enable them to assess the impact of strategic and operational policies on increasing the resilience, integrity and sustainability of food value chains for European countries.
The VALUMICS project will implement a holistic system framework based on causality, supported by new advances in theory, modeling and data collection that are needed to capture and understand the dynamics and interactions in food systems.
VALUMICS will provide a better understanding and models on which policy recommendations are based. It will provide advice to decision-makers with key roles and the required capacity to increase resilience to the sustainability of Europe's strategic food value chains.
