4 2017 Systematic Review Identificatoin and analysis of 2018 barriers, enablers & Solutions. 3 Case Studies Implementation of the framework in 3 coffee / cocoa producing countries End Recommendations Operationalization of actions and enablers in the 3 countries. 4

5 Research Problem 5 Increasing food demand Rural to Urban Exodus Aging farmer population Food security Take farming from a subsistence economy to being an attractive life-choice profession for the next generation. Agricultural productivity Interventions with limited effect

6 Research Questions 6 1 Under which conditions is farming declining globally? 2 3 Under which conditions can farming be made attractive and accessible for new entrants, especially young people? 3 How do RQ 1 and RQ 2 apply to smallholder farming, especially cocoa and coffee farming?

7 Systematic Review 7 1. Planning the review 5. Utilizing the findings Practical recommendations and theory building. 2. Identifying and evaluating studies Analysis of worldwide smallholder farming over time and space. 4. Reporting Conceptual framework: «key levers of change for farming attractiveness and accessibility».. 3. Extracting and synthesizing data Factors, conditions and processes.

8 Case Studies 8 1. Selecting 3 countries 5. Utilizing the findings Theoretical and practical contributions. 2. Identifying the research problem Conducting a literature review. 4. Analysing data Mixed analysis and crosscase conclusions Collecting data Field interviews.

13 Introduction Founding the pillars for Sustainable Food grain supply chain system Farmers Procurement centres Central distribution system Deficit states Fair price shops Consumers Vegetable and fruits supply chains Farmers Agents Central distribu1on system Retail stores Consumers 3

14 Food supply chains in India and Switzerland Founding the pillars for Sustainable Parwez (2014): 25-30% of food wasted due to inadequate infrastructure and highly inefficient supply chains India Institution of Mechanical Engineers (2013): 21 million tonnes of wheat lost per year Singh (2010): Monetary value of losses = INR 50,000 crores (7 808 million US dollars) per year Willersinn et al. (2017) analysed the Environmental impacts of food losses along the entire Swiss potato supply chain Switzerland Betz et al. (2014) worked on the problem of food loss in the food service industry and assessed the level of waste. Willersinn et al. (2015) investigated the quantity and quality of food losses along the Swiss potato supply chain. 4

15 The basic concept of sustainability Founding the pillars for Sustainable 5

16 Need of sustainability in agri-food supply chain Founding the pillars for Sustainable Challenges of agri-food supply chain Growing demand of food due to increasing world population Food wastage ( Annually worldwide 1.3 billion tones of food gets wasted) Providing support to farmers and employment to people Water and Carbon Footprint of Food supply chains Sustainable agri-food supply chain (Economic, Social and Environmental) Energy consumption at farming level and food processing stage Product bulkiness, perishability, seasonability, food safety and quality 6

17 Objectives Founding the pillars for Sustainable 1 To analyse practices in agri-food supply chain design and management in India and in Switzerland 2 To compare the data regarding the impact of the management of agrisupply chains on the economic, societal and environmental performances 3 To benchmark best practices for understanding and managing agri supply chains of both countries 4 To propose lean strategies to minimize non value-added activities from collection to storage of food using optimal utilization of storage capacity. 5 To study and recommend approaches to minimize the food wastage impact on environment s valuable resources such as land, water and energy. 7

18 Project partners Founding the pillars for Sustainable Swiss collaborator Project collaborators Prof. Naoufel Cheikhrouhou leads a research project fully funded by Prof. food Naoufel companies in Switzerland (Nestlé, Prof. Manoj Nespresso and Cheikhrouhou ECOM). Kumar Tiwari Handled several research projects in the area of Geneva School of Business Indian Institute of Technology, sustainable Administration supply chains Kharagpur Prof. Ravi Shankar just completed tri-lateral international research project on Next Generation Sustainable Freight Transportation (NEX-GIFT). He is Indian also the collaborator co-investigator in European Union funded research project on Efficient & Sustainable Freight Transportation. Prof. Ravi Shankar Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi Ph.D. student Inès Burrus Mr. Dnyaneshwar Mogale Prof. Tiwari is the Principal Investigator (PI) of the interdisciplinary project entitled Sustainable Food Security through Technological Interventions for Production, Processing and Logistics which involves the other three departments. It is sponsored by Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India. 8

19 Approach/ Methodology Founding the pillars for Sustainable Data collection from various reports related to Indian and Swiss agri-food supply chain system, online portals of food system of both countries, Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reports Field visits, interviews and questionnaire surveys Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for identification and quantification of environmental impacts of food wastage Multi-objective modeling by integrating the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability 9

20 Expected outcomes Founding the pillars for Sustainable Scientific side Cooperation side A framework for benchmarking best practices in food supply chains in both countries Three visits between India and Switzerland. A public database on the impact of the management of agri-supply chains on the environmental, the societal and the economic performances A proposal for an effective and efficient design and management of sustainable Agri-food supply networks in both countries Three (3) joint publications in high impact scientific journals Development of MoU on research and education between the three partners. Development of one new joint research proposal on sustainable supply chains to be submitted for funding to the EU framework Programme Horizon
