Analysis of agricultural value chains
The analysis of agricultural value chains is carried out from different angles depending on the research project and the research question. By applying potential analysis, barriers and challenges that individual actors in the value chain have to overcome in order to bring little-used or forgotten arable crops out of their niche and enable broader market access, are identified. Life cycle assessments examine holistically the underlying material cycles of selected value chains. The management of value chains is evaluated considering forms of cooperation, power relations and organisational forms of the actors involved.
>> In our research, agricultural value chains are viewed and evaluated holistically. In our methodological approaches, all actors in the value chain are taken into account.
