The “Short Food Supply Chain”
regional project The project is called “SFSC - Regional network for the valorization of agricultural products of Tuscany”
It has been approved by the regional government with DGR n. 335 in 2007
Aims of the project (1)• To recognize farmers an equal value for
their productions;• To foster the knowledge of certified tuscan
products and their characteristics;• To foster the consumption of local
products in their own area; • To reduce the environmental impact of
transports and to increase the consumption of seasonal products;
Aims of the project (2)
To keep alive the production of local foods, especially in marginal territories as potential touristic attraction
To increase the food turism in rural areas
To favour commercial agreements along the food supply chain
Economical aspects
With this project the Region gave subsidies to allow the start-up of the initiatives promoted by local institutions
The subsidies cover 80% of the total start-up costs, without obligation to recompensate the money
Initiatives financed by DGR 335 (1)
In the first stage, the project financed the following initiatives:
Farmers’ markets Direct sell shops FSC agreements Art&Food events
Initiatives financed by DGR 335 (2)
In the second stage (2009 / 2010), other two categories of initiatives were added:
Logistic: hosting farmers from other regions, which bring to the markets products not available in Tuscany
Special Projects: pilot projects with peculiar aspects of innovation and experimentation in promotion and communication
Direct Sell sites
Direct sell can be done in several ways:
In open spaces, itinerant or fixed Indoors, on farm or in the village/city On request: on farm or with home delivery Alone or collectively, sharing spaces with
other farmers

Solidarity-based purchase groups
Since the approval of the Financiary Law in 2008 they are defined as:
“No profit associations created in order to buy and distribute goods to their adherents without surplus, with goals of ethics, social solidarity and environmental sustainability”
Thanks to this institutional recognition, they can perform their activities respecting the fiscal norms, being equalled to non commercial subjects (no profit)
Solidarity-based purchase groups (2)
Products quality, sustainability, solidarity, relationship consumer – producer;
Farm visits, lunches, debates, collective learning
Saving money vs alliance with producers (prices issue)
Independent from institutions vs political support

Branches• Quality consumption with short
food supply chain• Fair economy• Ethical values• Organic farming• Green economy• Sustainable lifestyles
Roots• Local Public Administration• Citizens and associations of
the territory• GAS
Ground level• To build the future together• Protect the future
Conclusions
To project and design carefully the initiatives according to the target of consumers (place, timetable, mechanisms to attract people, communication aspects)
To develop innovative and light forms of logistic support to make easier the management of orders and deliveries, also to optimize the transports
There is an emerging need for coordination, control and guarantee, which we cannot leave to spontaneous solutions
Thank you!!
