Strengthening Coordinated Action Among Small Farm Cooperatives in Romania

Public

Small farming cooperatives are an integral part of the local food supply chain in Romania, but they can often struggle with communication and coordination between member farms. The goal of our project was to establish a system that facilitated easy communication and coordination among producers within Cooperativa SolBun, for smoother production and distribution of their food boxes. Through a combination of interviews and surveys, we determined their cur-rent management system cannot support a growing audience for the food box. With order forms and organizational spreadsheets, SolBun can anticipate and coordinate production, add common management roles, and streamline their food box production.
