´Opinions of Stakeholders and Consumers on the Sustainability of the Soy and Beef Supply Chain in Latin America and Europe

Abstract

Long, complex and globalised food chains often pose major challenges in terms of the sustainability of their environmental, economic and social impacts. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the sustainability of the beef and soy supply chains in Latin America and the European Union (EU). Within an FP 7 project called SALSA, we explored the attitudes towards, preferences for, and awareness of specific sustainability aspects of supply chains from the perspective of non-business and business stakeholders as well as consumers.
