See the title in English.
The Decision Support Tool (DST) is one of the digital spaces developed as part of the agroBRIDGES Toolbox. Decision Support Tool is an online tool that supports farmers to explore new business models and sales channels using short food supply chains (SFSC) by providing recommendations about the most suitable business models and sales channels, based on their own information as well as country and regional specific background information. In addition, the tool provides an evaluation of environmental, social and economic impacts of different sales channels. First, the user fills in information about the farm (location, size, number of production months, products produced, etc.), second, information on farm activities including whether the producer or farmer would like to welcome consumers and tourists to visit the farm is collected, and third, information about her/himself as a producer is gathered. The tool uses this information to identity the most suitable short food supply chain business models and sales channels for the producer or farmers specific circumstances. In the analysis part, the tool provides recommendations for business models and sales channels, the sustainability criteria of recommended sales channels and a comparison between them. Additional information about descriptions of SFSC business models and sustainability criteria, instructions about how to read the analysis results and information about how the results were calculated, are provided.
