The present study is a review of EU and regional policy aspects related to Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), a deliverable of the agroBRIDGES project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. The main objective of agroBRIDGES is to empower farmers with practical knowledge and tools to set up new business and marketing models based on Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) with a focus on building bridges between producers and consumers. The study provides an analysis, based on desk research of existing evidence and documentation, of the main policy aspects influencing SFSCs at both EU level and national or regional level of the 12 focal regions of the agroBRIDGES project. The 12 countries and their focal regions of study (Beacon regions) are: Greece (Central Macedonia), Finland, Netherlands, Italy (Lazio and Piemonte), Ireland, Denmark, Spain (Andalusia), Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, France (Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, Auvergne – Rhône Alpes) and Turkey.

Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
Forests for water in Catalonia
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
Understanding the health functions of peri-urban forests in protected areas and payment for ecosystem services
This innovation action will provide a unique and innovative way of evaluating health as a component of forest ecosystem services. The goal is to develop several scenarios for payments of those services, as well as empower future management of the protected area. It may also allow some programmes to be launched in cooperation with health institutions on activities related to human health and rehabilitation. In parallel, the case will raise public awareness about forest ecosystem services in order to increase uptake, and so that all stakeholders and park visitors recognise the benefits of forests for their health.
