The EU4ADVICE project held its kick-off meeting in Amsterdam on 6-7 October. FAIRCHAIN was presented by a representative of ISEKI-Food Association as a key project that EU4ADVICE should build on since both projects seek to upscale short food supply chains and use the Innovation Platform. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with EU4ADVICE!
