Due to inefficient and unregulated cultivation and distribution systems, agriculture in China is not very well organized. The SAFE project will use lessons learned in Europe to create a training system for retailers and farmers. The project is part of the Switch-Asia program, which supports Asian countries to respond to global challenges.
