Food chains
Sustainable agriculture through education
Due to ineffecient and unregulated cultivation and distribution systems, agriculture in China is not very well organized. This leads to increased waste, food safety risks and increased use of pesticides and fertilizers. The SAFE project will use experiences from Europe to develop a training system for retailers and farmers.
