VICTOR Short meat supplyc-chain [CASDAR project]

Aims:

Based on an extensive inventory of the situation of short food supply chains for beef and pork meat and meat products, the VICTOR project aims to (1) identify and prioritize the quality criteria for the actors of short circuits (producers and customers, in relation with the territories), (2) diagnose the needs of farmers in terms of tools to achieve these objectives within the constraints of organization and profitability of short food supply chains, and finally (3) develop these tools to support them effectively in the diversification of their activities. These tools for farmers, their advisors and trainers (continuing education and/or studies) within the framework of short food supply chains circuits, will be in digital format in order to be complementary to face-to-face training and to adapt as well as possible to the availability and constraints of the targeted public.

SECALIM was primarily involved in conducting a survey of 40 cattle and pig farmers who sell their meat, charcuterie, and meat products through short supply chains, in order to identify their expectations and the difficulties they encounter with regard to the quality of their products. This was achieved by recruiting a veterinarian as part of her veterinary practice thesis.
