SUFISA - Sustainable finance for sustainable agriculture and fisheries - aims to identify practices and policies that support the sustainability of primary producers in the context of complex policy requirements, market imperfections and globalization.
The work of the SUFISA project will be based on close cooperation between stakeholders of the industry, policy makers and representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations. The combination of theoretical approaches and multi-actor involvement will be the precondition for the identification of practices and policies aiming at addressing market failures hindering farmers and fishermen to function sustainably.
The JU Institute of Sociology runs the project within the framework of an international consortium consisting of 13 leading higher education institutions from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, and the United Kingdom.
