Our first ValueLinks for Agrifood Systems (VL4AFS) training took place very successfully in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany, in October 2024. 17 participants, all experts in value chain promotion, nutrition and food policy, contributed to it. We introduced a new concept and tools to support change agents in agrifood systems. The new seminar in June 2025 will be a further milestone for rolling out the advanced ValueLinks for Agrifood Systems approach.
