Join us for the first Data4FoodCluster workshop: “What helps and hurts when sharing data for sustainable food solutions”.
Data, when combined with AI and digital technologies, has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of our food systems. While access to data empowers individuals to make more informed and sustainable choices, much of the data held by the industry remains difficult to access.
Democratising access to data — for both consumers and industry — is key to unlocking this potential.
To drive systemic and sustainable change, we must examine the barriers, opportunities, and tangible benefits of data sharing and AI-powered solutions in the food sector.
The Data4Food Cluster — a collaboration between FOODITY, DRG4Food, SOSFood, and FoodDataQuest — invites citizens, consumers, researchers, and industry professionals to join a dynamic online workshop exploring:
- What helps and hinders data sharing in the food and nutrition sector?
- Practical actions to foster inclusive, data-driven sustainability in food systems.
🗓️ Date: Wednesday, 11 June 2025
⏰ Time: 13:00–14:30 CET
📍 Format: Interactive online workshop
Be part of the conversation and help shape a more transparent, sustainable, and equitable future for food and data in Europe!
About the projects
At FOODITY, we have supported the development of 12 groundbreaking, data-driven solutions for food and nutrition through a €2 million Pilot Development Programme, with a strong focus on citizens’ personal data sovereignty. These multidisciplinary projects explore how digital tools can empower individuals to make healthier, more sustainable food choices while ensuring data privacy. Explore the solutions developed by innovators from FOODITY’s Open Call 1 and Open Call 2.
DRG4FOOD, our sister project, has funded additional use cases with €1.9 million, supporting solutions in targeted nutrition, food traceability, and consumers’ food choices. The funding has been directed to research groups, start-ups, SMEs, and innovators interested in implementing dedicated tools and applications that address the Digital Responsibility Goals.
FoodDataQuest aims to revolutionise the EU food system through a data-driven framework that integrates novel public and private data sources, including contributions from unconventional players. By leveraging data-sharing mechanisms, AI, and machine learning, the project empowers stakeholders across the food value chain to drive a shift toward sustainable and healthy diets.
SOSFood will accelerate the green transition of food systems by using the great potential of Artificial Intelligence-based technologies. The project aims to support all stakeholders in the food chain in making well-informed decisions through a multi-factorial, multi-actor, and multi-scale approach, enabling more productive, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient food systems.
