This project lists success factors for the establishment of a sustainable short chain for bread (products), with special attention to old baking cereals. Interesting for farmers, millers and bakers. In short-circuit initiatives for bread products with locally grown baking grains, the lack of well-founded advice causes varying degrees of success. Identification of the parameters of success (chain-wide) is necessary. There is also a need for knowledge about the cultivation and baking quality of ancient grains. This would allow the farmer, miller and baker to make the right choice in terms of varieties, processing conditions and marketing. Chain-wide, existing initiatives are investigated and a platform is created for short-circuit bread initiatives. A selection of grain varieties is screened in terms of cultivation and processing potential and sensory testing is performed on the loaves. Consumers are also involved in a large-scale quantitative study. Three new initiatives from field to baker will serve as test cases to test the insights gained. A publication will bundle the parameters of success as well as the results of the new initiatives. This publication can serve as a guideline for short-circuit actors in the future.
