COREnet_Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC) Advisory Digital Database

Deliverable 2.4 takes the form of a ‘dedicated web page listing SFSC advisors and advisory organisations identified for continuous updating’ (COREnet Grant Agreement, Part B, p. 20). The webpage, developed by partner 6 (ICONS) is available here in the Knowledge Hub’ section of the COREnet website. This document presents a short overview of the processes used to develop the content for the dedicated web page, which lists SFSC advisors and advisory organisations. The overarching principle for the identification of advisors is to be as inclusive in the first scouting phase of T2.4, to provide scope for engaging further with advisors to learn more about their activities; and to enable the mobilisation of a comprehensive COREnet network of advisors, over the course of the project, to develop their skills and competencies in advising SFSCs. This deliverable presents an initial list of the advisors who have formally enlisted with the COREnet project to date, becoming part of its advisory network. It is important to note, however, as stated in the Grant Agreement, the formal enlisting of advisors with the COREnet project is an ongoing process and will continue throughout the project. A greater number of advisors and advisory organisations than is currently listed in D2.4 have been identified by COREnet, and their formal registration (adhering to data protection and data management protocols) is continuously in process. The D2.4 dedicated web page listing SFSC advisors and advisory organisations will be periodically updated as new advisors are identified by and formally join the COREnet network.
