Resumen
Descripción
A value chain consists of the series of transactions and actors necessary to bring a product from the inputs stage to the final market. Every stage of the chain involves adding value, and collaboration among stakeholders. Sustainable food value chains have significant impacts on food systems through enhancing economic sustainability by creating added value (higher incomes), social sustainability by facilitating more equitable distribution of added value among stakeholders, and environmental sust ainability by reducing ecological footprints throughout the value chain. Actions that help to make food chains sustainable include greening of food value chains, certification schemes and voluntary standards.
