WUR approach for effective sustainability programmes in the agrifood sector
Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has developed a five-step approach to help food producing companies create effective sustainability programs together with supplying farmers.
The researchers advise food producers to follow five steps on the road to sustainability:
1- prioritize 2- define goals 3- now what adjustments are effective at the regional and farm level 4- develop appropriate incentives for farmers 5- evaluate
This research contributes to international cooperation for the adoption of existing experiences and practices.
The initiative follows the model of the dairy industry in which modes of operation are exchanged within the networks around the Dairy Sustainability Framework and within the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform
