Abstract
The paper is concerned with the content of
corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the food supply
chains. The objective is to build the content of CSR in
the food chain with a stakeholder dialogue. The research
project takes an action oriented approach and is based
on case studies. The project draws on three different
case food products and their supply chains: rye bread,
broiler chicken products and margarine. The content of
CSR is constructed in interaction between researchers,
consumers, companies and their interest groups. The
research project combines the compilation and analysis
of extensive information sources, constructive
technology assessment and stakeholder workshops. The
paper presents how the research process is proceeding in
a dialogue with researchers, representatives of case
companies, consumers and other stakeholders and
provides results on important CSR issues related to the
case food products and their supply chains.
