Constructing sustainable FSCs typology

• Why a typology?
• To go beyond individual cases (examine patterns
  of internal coherence and mutual contrast)
• To reduce complexity but simultaneously avoid
  losing the richness of diversity
• To demonstrate that FSCs differ in terms of
  strategy, configuration, sustainability profile
  and sustainability performance
• To demonstrate that each type has its specific
  SWOTs and requires specific kinds of public
  support in order to enhance its sustainability
  performance (incl. impact on RD)
