Request for survey participants

A Lecturer in Law at the University of Portsmouth, Dr Penelope Giosa, is doing research in organic food. She would like to have your opinion about the price formation in the agricultural value chain, the distribution of risks in the supply chain, the prospect of collaborations within the ‘farm-to-fork’ chain with regard to sustainability and what should be done to make sustainable production more appealing. 

If you are interested in having a chat with her and learning more about her project, please email her penny.giosa@port.ac.uk

Your contribution will be very much appreciated, and of course, you can keep your anonymity if you wish so.
