The SUFACHAIN project aims to analyse agroforestry systems and integrate them into local land use systems, while developing products and technologies that contribute to the sustainable use of resources and create local value. In close collaboration with local partners, the project will (1) analyse and design sustainable agroforestry systems, (2) improve quality in the foods made from agroforestry products, (3) develop efficient technologies for the re-use of waste materials from the processing chain, (4) improve transparency along the supply chain, (5) increase local value by valorising selected ecosystem services and (6) develop attractive market niches for agroforestry products.}, language = {en} }
