The review of the agri-food chains is supplemented with interviews with representatives from industry/trade associations and firms.

The interviewees form the consultation panel. This panel is consulted at critical stages throughout the project and will have particular importance in WP6.

We would like to thank our consultation panel members for their helpful and valuable input.
