Studies

Project aim:
Conducting a market study on alternative forms of milk marketing in the state of Saxony (East Germany). The aim of the study is to show the current situation and market potential and thus to ensure the economic competitiveness of Saxon milk producers.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Ecozept carries out this market study together with AMI GmbH. The core of the study is a two-stage survey in the three value chains of cow, goat and sheep milk, which is carried out by telephone and online among about 100 market participants (production, processing, trade) and the industry representatives. On the basis of the data obtained in this way and an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, a follow-up project will quantify the market potential of individual marketing forms and derive concrete recommendations for action.

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).

Overview of the Organic Brewing Industry and analysis of the market potential in the Greater Region

The Lorraine Regional Natural Parc and its partners launched the Brass Hop Bio project to establish an organic brewing industry across the Greater Region — Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle and Moselle (France); the province of Liège (Belgium); the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg; and Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland (Germany). The goal is to assess the current state of the existing industry, analyze the potential market for regional organic barley and hops among brewers, and the market for regional organic beers among consumers. The final step in this process is to collaboratively develop an action plan with and for the economic stakeholders (producers, cooperatives and collectors, malters and hop processors, and brewers).
