The project Food2C is laureate of the scientific call ISITE 2017 of the consortium of universities Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Hence, it benefits
funding from the regional excellency fund (ISITE). Food2C aims to study the way that foods are provided to urban consumers today. It is a
multidisciplinary project, which combines social sciences with food sciences.
Food2C aims to analyze food supply chain organizations and food conservation technologies of vegetable products in three agglomerations:
Dijon Metropole in France, Hue and Hanoi agglomerations in Vietnam.
Comparative studies between two countries will allow the identification of underlying factors that condition successful application of local food system.
Mobilizing the foodshed approach, and considering the use of fermentation as a low-technology applicable at a large scale by familial and semi-industrial
structures, the project is looking to produce a proof of concept of local food system, which could be developed in France by local food operators. It
contributes to the scientific debate over the effectiveness of local food system as an answer to global food security challenges that we are facing in next
decades.
