To this end, the project will mobilise local farmers through SFSCs, focussing on decreasing intermediaries and their margin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS, CTA and Impact Hub Madrid will work for 36 months in close collaboration with other twelve partners from eleven countries to make an ambitious contribution to the <strong>Common Agricultural Policy<\/strong>, unlocking the full potential of Europe\u2019s inner wealth by placing producers as a cornerstone for boosting the European <strong>agri-food sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both regional and international approaches will be considered along the project, where <strong>12 beacon regions<\/strong> will be involved in the creation of this multi-actor framework, directly engaging approximately <strong>400 people <\/strong>in information collection, knowledge exchange, <strong>co-creation<\/strong>, co-development, and validation of project outputs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS, as expert in market uptake, will lead the <strong>exploitation<\/strong> of the project results, and will produce some of the <strong>communication<\/strong> materials for the agroBRIDGES toolbox, including the elaboration of e-learning materials for <strong>training<\/strong> programmes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We are glad to participate in a new project focused on the <strong>agri-food sector<\/strong>&#8220;, states Jes\u00fas Serrano, Deputy General Manager of SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS. &#8220;This is a key sector for the sustainable development of the European economy, in which we have been gaining expertise thanks to other projects related to the <strong>bioeconomy<\/strong>, such as ICT-BIOCHAIN, UrBIOfuture and BIOSWITCH, where we also collaborate with CTA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From its side, CTA coordinates the work package dedicated to maximising and replicating project results in Europe. It will also lead <strong>knowledge transfer<\/strong> actions, including the creation of a training programme for cluster managers, innovation agents and public administration<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;With the participation in the agroBRIDGES project, CTA continues to support the deployment of the <strong>bioeconomy<\/strong> in Spain, particularly in Andalusia, as one of the sectors with the most potential to generate wealth and employment in the region,&#8221; says Nathalie Chavrier, Technical Oficer of the <strong>Agri-<\/strong><strong>Food Sector<\/strong> in CTA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the third Spanish consortium member, Impact Hub Madrid contributes to the development of <strong>economic, social and environmental sustainability<\/strong> measurement systems through <strong>social impact assessment<\/strong>. Moreover, Impact Hub Madrid will support the project in the <strong>dissemination of surveys<\/strong>, as well as in the testing of the agroBRIDGES Toolbox in Europe thanks to its extensive network: IH Network and EU Cluster. With the latter, Impact Hub Madrid will collaborate in the <strong>dissemination of the project results<\/strong> and in its visibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;For Impact Hub Madrid, the sector of <strong>sustainable food production<\/strong> is a priority at the moment, and the participation in the agroBRIDGES project represents the support and promotion of sustainable systems that guarantee food security and nutrition for all people. We want to contribute with our experience as an international network where different projects have already been carried out in this area&#8221;, says Leyre Romero, Head of Sustainability projects at Impact Hub Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Improving farmers&#8217; position in the farming chain<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The agroBRIDGES project proposes the development of an agri-food multi-actor framework and a set of practical support tools to improve local producers\u2019 market positioning and decrease intermediaries\u2019 margin. Full EU roll-out, replication and training will be conducted, supported by a strong dissemination campaign and coordination with other EU projects and initiatives, through a clustering plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main expected impact in the short term will be 150 stakeholders trained on topics related to food procurement, mobilisation of innovative agri-food supply chains, and support of local producers. Meanwhile in the medium-, long-term, it is expected a 5-8% increase of farms involved in direct sales to consumers and a rise in farmers\u2019 income thanks to the developed new SFSCs models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>About agroBRIDGES<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Led by Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL, the agroBRIDGES consortium is formed by the Agriculture and Food Development Authority of Ireland, Council for Agricultural Research and Economics, Food &amp; Bio Cluster Denmark, FruitVegetablesEUROPE, CTA, Impact Hub Madrid, Munster Technological University (former ITT), Rezos Brands, Sustainable Innovations, Sabri Ulker Foundation, Unimos Foundation, Vegepolys Valley, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd, and Wageningen University.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In total, \u20ac3 million in funding has been granted to agroBRIDGES under the European Union\u2019s research and innovation programme Horizon 2020.
