101182220 - Foodture - Horizon-CL6-2024-Zeropollution-01

The main objective is to drive a significant transformation in the European food sector, focusing on sustainability and innovation. By developing and validating improved LCA methodologies, moving away from generic data, and involving stakeholders at every stage, Foodture will reveal effective levers for sustainability and foster a more resilient and circular food value chain. The project prioritizes open access and transparency, ensuring that this approach is widely adopted for maximum impact. Special attention is given to validating and pioneering precision agriculture techniques and environmental stewardship practices to reduce pollution and enhance holistic impact assessment. Foodture engages in improving data collection and methodologies for calculating impacts, ensuring that the sustainability information thereby produced accurately reflects the entire food system value chain, aiming to establish a new standard of excellence in European food systems through rigorous testing and scaling.
