All seem to agree that the current commercial food value chains and systems in the northern / peripheral regions of Europe are failing to fulfil the economical and nutritional potential they have. For example, the current system is mostly missing the opportunities to enter niche food markets in which value addition is high. Also the demand for local food for the growing tourism industry has been poorly exploited. In the NPA area, food production varies from striving for food security at one end of the scale to having successful SMEs producing high profit products for export at the other end. In the planned project, selected local food chains will be analyzed by using different strategic planning techniques, for example SWOT, AWOT, VRIO or five forces analysis. These analyses will include identifying constraints which are currently limiting the success of food chains in the NPA region. Based on the outcomes of analyses, development plans for the value chains will be designed in cooperation with the stakeholders (SMEs, NGOs and consulting organizations connected to food chains). In some cases, the plans will partially be implemented through selected interventions for demonstration purposes. The development plans and selected interventions aim to develop innovative and viable food chains, which fulfil the requirements of four domains of sustainability: Economical, ecological, political and cultural. The development plans and interventions can be applied in NPA region food systems as such. They are also benchmarking targets for other food chains and models which will support political decision-making and strategic planning. The co-operation and transfer of knowledge between the project participants will provide useful insight and a basis for individual and collective development of solutions for generally strengthening food chains in the NPA region.
