Project description

In this project we want to approach 'short food chains' and 'multifunctional agriculture' rather from an urban than rural perspective. Shortening food chains is a way to reduce the environmental impact of agro-food systems. If want to improve the environmental performance of the agro-food system, also other streams (eg nutrients, water, and municipal waste) must be taken into account. This project aims to integrate all these aspects.
