نبذة مختصرة : The food industry is a complex, collective of diverse businesses that supply our food in the context of great environmental challenge. The world’s growing food demand and the need for ethical and sustainable practices have become a challenge that the EU and the UN are encouraging us all to tackle. The food and drink industry is the EU's biggest manufacturing sector in terms of jobs and value-added. The industry is dominated by SMEs; however, self-employment in the EU has not risen in decades. Potential entrepreneurs and SMEs have been slow to respond - because they lack professional capacity or skills to innovate/orchestrate change in business development, production and marketing of ethical food. We want to initiate a change in this regard with EFE and encourage/promote potential entrepreneurs to take that leap with support and knowledge.The main objective of the present work is to present the Ethical Food Entrepreneurship (EFE) Project, an Erasmus+ Projec ; This work was financially supported by the European Union (Project Code: 2021-1-FI01-KA220- HED-000032252) through the action KA220-HED - Cooperation partnerships in higher education, and the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) and the FEDER under the PT2020 program (UID/AGR/00690/2020). The authors also thank the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, Portugal) for the financial support of the national funds FCT/MCTES to CIMO (UIDB/00690/2020) unit and the Associate Laboratory SusTEC (LA/P/0007/2020). ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
