本研究旨在描述欧盟短食品供应链（SFSC）的现状，即所涉及的食品由农民识别并可追溯到农民，农民和消费者之间的中间商数量应该最小或理想情况下为零。可以确定几种类型的SFSCs，例如csa（社区支持农业）、农场内销售、农场外计划（农贸市场、配送计划）、集体销售，特别是面向公共机构的销售，主要是当地/近距离销售，在某些情况下是远程销售。这种类型的食物链具有特定的社会影响、区域和农场一级的经济影响以及环境影响，这些影响转化为消费者的明确利益。尽管就主要的SFSCs类型而言，不同的MS存在一些差异，但整个欧盟都存在SFSCs。一般来说，它们主要是小型或微型企业，由小规模生产者组成，往往与有机农业做法相结合。社会价值（向消费者提供优质产品并与生产商直接接触）通常是sfsc在环境或经济价值之前强调的价值。在政策工具方面，制定一个特定的欧盟标签计划有利有弊，这可以为SFSCs带来更多的认可、清晰度、保护和增值，而潜在的成本可能是一个障碍。无论如何，一个可能的标签方案应该考虑到目前欧盟SFSCs发展的不同阶段和情况，并足够灵活地适应这些差异。其他政策工具，特别是营销和通讯方面的培训和知识交流，被认为是重要的，应继续由农村发展方案提供资金，考虑到积极的社会影响而不是具体的农村影响，也可能由其他欧盟基金提供资金。
The present study aims at describing the state-of-play of short food supply chains (SFSC) in the EU understood as being the chains in which foods involved are identified by, and traceable to a farmer and for which the number of intermediaries between farmer and consumer should be minimal or ideally nil. Several types of SFSCs can be identified, for example CSAs (Community-Supported Agriculture), on-farm sales, off-farm schemes (farmers markets, delivery schemes), collective sales in particular towards public institutions, being mostly local / proximity sales and in some cases distance sales. Such type of food chain has specific social impacts, economic impacts at regional and farm level as well as environmental impacts translating themselves into a clear interest of consumers. SFSCs are present throughout the EU, although there are some differences in the different MS in terms of dominating types of SFSCs. In general, they are dominantly small or micro-enterprises, composed of small-scale producers, often coupled to organic farming practices. Social values (quality products to consumers and direct contact with the producer) are the values usually highlighted by SFSCs before environmental or economic values. In terms of policy tools, there are pros and cons in developing a specific EU labelling scheme which could bring more recognition, clarity, protection and value added to SFSCs, while potential costs might be an obstacle. Anyhow, a possible labelling scheme should take into account the current different stages and situations of development of SFSCs in the EU and be flexible enough accommodate these differences. Other policy tools, in particular training and knowledge exchange in marketing and communication are considered important and should continue to be funded by Rural Development programmes, as well as possibly other EU funds in view of the positive social and not specifically rural impacts.
