Salsa Project

The Small Farms, Small Food Businesses and Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security (SALSA) Project has been designed to meet the challenge of assessing the role of small-scale farms and small food businesses in delivering a diversity of food systems and small farms situations and looking beyond production capacity to increase all four (4) dimensions of food and nutrition security (FNS) through transdisciplinary research and stakeholder-led actions, crossing disciplines: Europe -Africa and research policy practice.

The aim of the SALSA project is to assess the role of small farms and small food businesses in delivering a sustainable and secure supply of affordable, nutritious, and culturally adequate food. The SALSA project was a European Union - EU funded Research and Innovation initiative implemented by a 17-member EU-Africa Research consortium coordinated by the University of Evora Portugal from 2016 - 2020.
