WP4: Agri-food networks
WP4: Local agri-food networks and their environmental effects in Brittany
This study will identify and explain the main environment effects when farmers join a local agri-food network. It will also analyse how government policies facilitate or impede environmental improvements through such networks. Brittany provides a good case study for a general European problem of how alternatives can counter environmental damage from industrial agriculture.
