The project consortium has brought together during three years recognised researchers working in six research institutions of four Southern EU Member countries (IAM Montpellier, MAIChania, UP Valencia, CSIC Madrid, UNINapoli, and INRA Montpellier) one partner from Turkey (Akdeniz University), originally four partners from Mediterranean Partner countries (ENA Meknes, INA Tunis, Zagazig University (Egypt), and NACP (Syria), the latter having dropped out because of political events in that country. In addition, two teams from Northern EU countries have been mobilized because of their specific and well recognized competencies on value chain analysis (Kent Business School) and sustainable agriculture and forestry (PTT Finland).
