Imagine a digital passport for your food that you actually trust because you control who sees your data. Instead of big corporations owning all the information, this creates a set of rules so everyone from the farmer to the shopper has a fair say. It's like moving from a closed book to an open ledger where privacy and honesty are built-in.
Food data is currently controlled by large corporations and authorities, leading to a lack of trust from citizens and small producers. This prevents the adoption of data-driven innovations in safety, waste reduction, and personalized nutrition.
A Digital Responsibility Toolbox with 170+ developer enablers and a strategic roadmap for a virtual food system. They also executed 8 pilot projects to prove these tools work in real scenarios.
If you are a software provider dealing with farmer distrust regarding data ownership — this project developed a Digital Responsibility Toolbox with 170+ enablers that helps you build tools where users maintain sovereignty over their information.
If you are a logistics company dealing with fragmented transparency in the supply chain — this project developed 8 pilots achieving TRL 4-6 that demonstrate how to implement responsible data sharing for food safety and waste reduction.
If you are an app developer dealing with sensitive user health data — this project developed a Digital Responsibility Framework that ensures privacy and user control, making your service trustworthy by default.
Based on available project data, no specific commercial pricing is listed, but the project utilized a funding programme that distributed nearly 2 million EUR across 8 pilot projects.
The project demonstrated 8 pilots reaching TRL 4-6, indicating a transition from laboratory testing to simulated or real-world environment validation.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes an open, trustworthy approach and provided a toolbox for developers, though specific license types are not detailed.
Yes, the project provided four policy briefs to bodies such as ENISA and CEN-CENELEC to align food data systems with European Digital Rights and Principles.
The project ran from December 2022 to November 2025, covering a full three-year development and piloting cycle.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward agile implementation, consisting of 8 partners across 7 countries. With a 50% industry ratio and 7 out of 8 partners being SMEs, the project is designed for commercial applicability rather than pure academic research, focusing on practical tools for the food ecosystem.
