Abstract

In recent times, Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), i.e., supply chains in which the number of intermediaries between farmer and consumer are minimal or ideally nil, and local markets have flourished in Europe, both in rural and urban areas. SMARTCHAIN is a 3-year Horizon 2020 multi-actor project of 43 partners from 11 European countries, including key stakeholders from the short food supply chain domain – a kaleidoscope of ‘actors’ where science meets a wide range of non-technical disciplines and stakeholders across the agri-food value chain. Its central objective is to develop a portfolio of technological, organisational, social, and digital innovations, which will be validated in a Living Lab approach (18 pan-European use cases on short food supply chains) ensuring powerful co-creation and testing. SMARTCHAIN will develop 9 national Innovation Hubs and the SMARTCHAIN Innovation Platform, a digital portal for building a stakeholder community, and facilitating engagement, communication, and knowledge exchange across stakeholders. This special issue focuses on the most recent developments with respect to innovation in short food supply chains and publishes original research articles in this field.

智能链-在短食品供应链中实现创新驱动和智能解决方案

近年来，短食品供应链(SFSCs)，即农民和消费者之间的中间商数量最少或理想情况下为零的供应链，以及当地市场在欧洲农村和城市地区蓬勃发展。SMARTCHAIN是一个为期三年的“地平线2020”多参与者项目，由来自11个欧洲国家的43个合作伙伴组成，包括来自短食品供应链领域的主要利益相关者——科学与广泛的非技术学科相结合的“参与者”和农业食品价值链上的利益相关者。其核心目标是开发技术、组织、社会和数字创新的组合，并将在生活实验室方法(18个泛欧短食品供应链用例)中进行验证，确保强大的共同创造和测试。SMARTCHAIN将开发9个国家创新中心和SMARTCHAIN创新平台，后者是一个数字门户，用于建立利益相关者社区，促进利益相关者之间的参与、沟通和知识交流。本期特刊重点关注短食品供应链创新的最新发展，并发表该领域的原创研究文章。
