Innovative potential of a circular economy: Market study of the agricultural and food industry in North Rhine-Westphalia

Project aim:
The objective of this market study is to assess material flows in the various plant and animal production sectors of the agricultural and food industry. The market analysis thus contributes to the identification of the innovation potential of the INGRAIN project.   
INGRAIN is financed by the programme "Wandel durch Innovation in der Region (WIR)" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and aims at a structural transformation by establishing a cross-sectoral and resource-saving circular economy. The sectors concerned are agricultural, textile and food production in part of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
The market analysis aims to identify waste and co-product streams and provides recommendations for their optimised and cross-sectoral use. In addition, relevant actors in the agriculture and food sector in the Rhine mining district are identified. The study is based on an analysis of the raw material potential of the existing agriculture and food industry. Then, based on the assumptions and guiding questions of the study, an expert survey is conducted in the food and agricultural industry. This qualitative and semi-directive survey is conducted by telephone with representatives of all the links in the targeted sectors.

FOODCoST

Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition

Current food systems don’t reflect the true costs of food. In order to achieve sustainable food systems, the project’s objective is to develop tools, business models and policies to measure and value positive and negative external costs of food. By internalising climate, biodiversity, environmental, social and health externalities, these costs are going to be reflected in market prices and thus in the decision making of actors in food value chains. FOODCoST (Food Costing and internalisation of Externalities for System Transition) will guide business, policy makers and other actors to support the transition towards a sustainable food system. This EU-research project is coordinated by Stichting Wageningen Research (Netherlands).
