ClimChain

The transdisciplinary research project ClimChain unites stakeholders from diverse sectors, including coffee, cocoa, herbs, and livestock farming, with a specific focus on family farmers of different sizes. Grounded in national and international best-practice examples, the project aims to advance our understanding of effective strategies for fostering resilience and social transformation within the agri-food sector. Our primary objective is to develop indicators for measuring resilience and social transformation within agri-food supply chains, aligning with the Proximity Framework by Edelmann et al. and incorporating the Resilience Concept from relevant literature. This enables to strengthen these sectors in Austria as well as the respective agricultural communities nationally and internationally.
