SEEDS Project

The main goal of SEEDS project is to increase resilience of cereal supply chain in the MENA region, by (i) implementing specific standards, practices, and policy recommendations to facilitate production, trade, and investment within Mediterranean countries, (ii) foster local supply and value chains by reviving ancient grains for resilient production systems to shocks, (iii) implement ICT and digital data technology to facilitate knowledge sharing (SMART AKIS), implement shorter and more efficient cereal supply chains, and a recommendation system that will allow farmers to better adapt to climatic shocks and adopt new practices (Fig.1 above), and iv) build a knowledge sharing platform free accessible to stakeholders along MENA & EU supply chain to provide an overall vison of SEEDS's main outcomes.
