GIASAT's mission is to energize and support various stakeholders to achieve Territorialized Food Systems (SAT) based on agroecology, which, in a coordinated manner, with principles of sustainability and a social economy approach, collaboratively solve the need for organic, seasonal, and local food.
Our main objective is to promote the agroecological transition in the SATs by fostering social and technological innovations based on the collective strategies already being implemented in Spain around sustainable Food Hubs.
GIASAT's proposal focuses on promoting Sustainable Food Hubs (FHS) or sustainable logistics centers, since improving access to food and local markets requires developing food logistics and distribution adapted to small and medium-sized production and short marketing channel networks.
The work is carried out in an eminently practical manner, with supporting tools and processes based on the major management areas: supply chain, administration and management, and sales and marketing. To this end, we propose monitoring and developing innovations at different levels:
- Optimize logistics processes, implement support protocols for sustainable purchasing for catering businesses, increase the digitalization of participating FHS by developing improvements to GISAT's digital infrastructure, design innovative mechanisms for direct sales to end consumers in schools, workplaces, or homes, and enhance new capabilities for developing wholesale channels for organic products.
- Develop and implement a digital ecosystem of tools to boost, accelerate, and improve food hubs and disseminate the toolkit among these and small and medium-sized farms and family industries.
