The strategic guide on Food Quality Schemes (FQS) is a tool for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to explore the links between sustainability and FQS. It was developed by a team of researchers at the University of Parma in collaboration with several academic and non-academic partners, in the context of the 5-year EU Horizon 2020 research project \u201cStrenght2Food\u201d. The guide presents the findings on an extensive research investigating the positive impacts of FQS linked to good production and consumption practices. Based on the results of 26 benchmarked value chains, involving different FQS (organic, PDO and PGI products) in 14 countries, the guide reports methods, tools and case studies to explore the sustainability performance of FQS. The research identified three main dimensions of public goods linked to FQS production: cultural and heritage preservation; socio-economic; and natural resources. Presenting best practices, recommendations and case studies related to each of these dimensions, the guide represents a unique opportunity of \u201clearning from practice\u201d and strengthening the positive impacts of FQS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","category_biblio":[420,53,184,185],"class_list":["post-12397","bibliography","type-bibliography","status-publish","hentry","category_biblio-evaluation-fr","category_biblio-geographical-indications-fr","category_biblio-public-goods-fr","category_biblio-sustainability-fr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
