Identification of Good Food Value Chains
Sytra has carried out a study identifying key Good Food value chains for the Brussels-Capital Region. Results: Cereals, fruit, vegetables and plant proteins will be the focus of particular activities in strategy the Good Food 2.
Presentation
Good Food 2 (2022-2030) is the Brussels-Capital Region’s food strategy.
The aim of this strategy is to ensure that everyone in Brussels has access to Good Food adapted to their needs, at a fair price for producers. In order to achieve these objectives, the Brussels Region has developed a 5-pronged strategy, taking care in its development and implementation to involve players from the social and health sectors, and has adopted a ‘neighbourhood’ approach to food, as close as possible to its citizens.
Axis 2 of the strategy aims to specialize in certain sectors in order to encourage the delivery of quality products from Flanders and Wallonia to the Brussels regions. As part of this, Sytra has carried out a study to identify the Good Food value chains: in other words, the products and their supply chains that will bring about the Good Food change.
To achieve this, the study :
- Analyses other urban and European food strategies and their positioning in certain sectors: the sector approach – the choice of the CBR – is unprecedented.
- Documents the volumes and consumption habits of the region’s inhabitants
- Compares these consumption habits with the sustainability issues envisaged by the strategy
- Presents the sectors chosen on the basis of the results of the study
In the end, the ‘Good Food’ sectors in the BCR are:
Cereals, fruit, vegetables and plant proteins.
