The SUPREM-MILK project focuses on the sustainability and resilience of the milk supply chain in the Mediterranean regions. Here is the analysis of the project in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals 2, 12, 13 and 3.
Description:
SUPREM-MILK aims to provide concrete tools and propose customized and targeted solutions that can help farmers in the Southern Mediterranean Countries (SMCs) to take a step towards net zero carbon and a greener and circular “agriculture” to maximize the 3 forms of sustainability and the resilience of Mediterranean milk. Three SMCs will be part of the project consortium: Egypt, Morocco and Turkey in addition to the Northern Mediterranean partners Italy, France and Spain.
Project Objectives:
- Objective 1: Preliminary inventory of the carbon cycle and characterization of sustainability in the ecosystems where the target dairy sectors are located.
- Objective 2: Support the adoption and implementation of sustainable technologies, new applications and best practices by local farmers.
- Objective 3: Final assessment of the carbon footprint, sustainability, self-sufficiency and competitiveness of the milk supply chains considered and its impact on consumer nutrition and health.
