To avoid the killing of male chicks from breeds of laying hens, the associations for organic farming will increase the usage of dual-purpose chicken breeds in the future. Currently, only few innovative farmers keep dual-purpose chickens in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The project ?ZweiWert? aims at creating a regional network of players to build a regional value chain for dual-purpose chickens in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Therefore, a status quo analysis and a potential assessment regarding the agricultural production, processing as well as marketing and distribution is carried out. ?ZweiWert? includes the hole value chain in different ways: With the participation of the agricultural practice, animal breeding and husbandry is involved to establish a rural poultry breeding of dual-purpose chicken in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Dialogue forums will help to assess the needs of trade and processing. Factors that promote and inhibite the usage of dual-purpose chicken will be defined. In consumer studies in two Biomusterregionen innovative products will be tested and the expectations and insights of the consumers will be collected.
