SKIN is an ambitious initiative in the domain of Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC), which aims to systematize the existing knowledge, fostering demand-driven innovation, building long-term collaboration among European farmers and cooperatives, facilitate stakeholders engagement and promote innovation through demand-driven research in the short food supply chain domain.

Re-connecting the two extremities of the food supply chain, reconciling producers with citizens, stimulating mutual trust and establishing a short chain based on common values on food, its origin and production method.

A common base, upon which to build a new community characterised by a multi-faced (geographical, ethical and co-operative) proximity between food producers and society. The ultimate objective is to establish of a permanent association of stakeholders, working on the improvement of SFSC’s efficiency for the economic growth of the sector for the benefits of European farmers and citizens.
