SHERPA Discussion Paper | Towards Sustainable and Resilient Value Chains

The SHERPA process will support the gathering of evidence from across Europe, at multiple levels, regarding sustainable and resilient value chains, showing the directions in which it is most appropriate and feasible to address local needs. This SHERPA Discussion Paper provides a synthesis of EU policy aims and findings from research as identified in recent research projects. It sets out the main research findings in relation to sustainable value chains. It does not aim to cover all aspects related to sustainable value chains, but will focus on a set of sub-themes identified as relevant for rural areas.
