Project SCALE – Delivering a Step Change in Agri-Food Logistics
Set up to address rising food demands, increasing energy prices and the need to reduce environmentally damaging emissions, Step Change in Agri-food Logistics Ecosystems (Project SCALE) is a three year project working across North-West Europe. Its aims are to increase economic competitiveness and improve environmental and social sustainability of food and drink supply chain logistics across the region.
Partly funded by INTERREG IVB North-West Europe, the 5 partners of the Project – Cranfield University, DHL, EFFP, University of Wageningen and University of Artois – have been working closely to deliver a number of tools and frameworks that the agri-food sector can use to secure a step change in operational practices. These will ultimately contribute to improving the efficiency and sustainability of food and drink logistics throughout the supply chain. To demonstrate their effectiveness, these tools and frameworks will be piloted across a range of food networks to demonstrate how the new approaches can deliver real commercial benefits.
