D4.6: Upgrading Strategies for the Value Chains

WP4 (Participatory appraisal of vulnerability and performance of value chains) set out to analyse diverse mountain Value Chains (VCs) as assemblages of practices within nested socio-ecological systems across Europe. The focus is on the Value Chain assemblage (VC-A) incorporating a focal VC and additional VCs that interact within specific mountain territories and rely on territorial capital. This deliverable considers if the VC-A is vulnerable to threats; and how these VC-A can be made resilient, whilst supporting sustainable mountain development.  

The deliverable synthesises insights from the ongoing youth engagement work (England and Creaney, In Progress); and analyses of vulnerabilities of the land use systems (González-Moreno et al., 2022) of the VC-A (Zagata et al., 2023); and the participatory analysis of the VC-A (Blackstock et al., 2022).
