GLOBAL EXPERTISE I LOCAL PRACTICE

Global food systems make us vulnerable in the time of worldwide crisis. In addition, the call of consumers for sustainable food production becomes louder. The role of Local food production is essential next to the Global supply chains. The Global and Local systems need to be brought into a suitable balance. When one system fails, the other can provide stability. To create this balance the local consumption needs to increase, which means that shorter supply chains are also required. For development it is vital to collect the correct knowledge and find the right partners.

At VIV Europe 2022, global expertise presented how to boast local practice in a sustainable way. All activities and conferences feature this main topic.

It focused on how current and future trends in feed, breeding & hatching, farming, health & nutrition, slaughtering and egg handling & processing may lead to develop a supply chain with fewer links. It emphasised on the fact that interaction between consumers and farmers is equally important as the interaction within the supply chain.

We need Glocal Farming to secure fresh food locally – HubOrange!

Global food systems are vulnerable in the time of a worldwide crisis, the role of local food production is essential as an add-on to global supply chains.

We need Glocal Farming to secure fresh food locally. That’s why we focus on regionalization of food production in a new sustainable ways; farm to fork and fork to farm. Important in this regard is attention for new forms of collaboration in the food supply chain to ensure food security and food safety and of course – very important – healthy food that’s sustainable and affordable. At the inspiration square in hall 9 VIV Europe presented a collection of about 35 inspiring examples of innovations to make food supply chains shorter, future-proof and transparent for all stakeholders involved, including consumers. More then ever before food supply change is in the air.

Standardized products/brands

GLOBAL INTERACTION SUPPLY CHAIN

CONSUMER DRIVEN

Products with more processing and packaging
Global Production I Local Branding
Longer supply chains remain next to shorter chains and next to supermarkets

Security when local harvest fails = Food Security

LOCAL INTERACTION SUPPLY CHAIN

FARMER DRIVEN

0-800 KM
Products with little processing and packaging
Local products and concepts
Fewer links

Increased certainity of product delivery = Food security
