The 12-month project has been launched to deliver a strategic ‘roadmap’ and Proof- of-Value (PoV) for the creation of viable ‘Data Trusts’ in the Food and Drink Sector.
The project aims to reinforce the strategic goal of the FSA, supporting the interests of consumers by ensuring that: “food is safe, what it says it is, and that consumers have access to an affordable healthy diet, and can make informed choices about what they eat, now and in the future”.
The project commenced on the 9th September 2019, and will be completed on the 8th September 2020.
The project is funded by the Food Standards Agency and led by the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology at the University of Lincoln.
The work will be supported by activities in the EPSRC funded Internet of Food Things Network Plus:
