Group ideas & notes:

Notes:

• All data published by food system actors on 3 levels.
• 1. Transparency on ecological level: Travel route, resources used, etc.
• 2. Transparency level on social level: working conditions (hours worked, overtime, paid for it) --> farmer level, transport level, aggregation..
• 3. Transparency on economic level (prices and costs, true costs)
• Health-related costs (e.g. nutritional levels, e.g. sugar)

• Tool: QR code providing information about how much producers were paid, 
• Using blockchain technology, think about risk for small-scale actors..
• Language question, readability of information, how to make it less complex so everybody understands? --> nutri score tool-like approach? Translate information "vulgariser" so people understand, compare to averages, standards.

Who should be involved?

• Scientific community needed: e.g. ecological cost-accounting atm
• Onboard every actor in the system?
• Approach of prototyping - bottom up? Vs. Forcing all actors -> make mandatory - top-down? --> bottom up, Twint like story, success story from small initiative to scaling it up

Governance:

• Culture of trust around the transparency system --> virtuous cycle.
• Through association or cooperative?
• Joint charter?¨¨

Policy measures - forcing vs. incentivizing?

• payed data collection for farmers, low-scale actors
• legislative standpoint: traceability of food needs to be regulated, what data provided by whom, etc..
• Control? State agency? or private-based? --> follow bio label-like approach / is control necessary at all.
