If you are a tech provider dealing with uneven adoption of digital farming tools — this project developed a Self-Assessment Tool that identifies potential inequality drivers. This helps you design products that reach more users and avoid excluding vulnerable regions.
Risk Assessment Tools for Fair Green and Digital Transitions in Food and Transport
Imagine upgrading a whole city to electric cars and smart farms, but accidentally leaving the poorest neighborhoods behind. This work creates a set of digital tools and checklists to spot those gaps before they happen. It helps leaders make sure the move to a greener future doesn't leave certain people or regions in the dust.
What needed solving
Green and digital policies often create accidental inequalities, leaving certain social groups or regions behind. This creates political risk and market inefficiency in the agri-food and mobility sectors.
What was built
A READJUST Observatory containing a Policy Tracker Tool, a Co-Creation Framework, a Self-Assessment Tool, and specific Inequality Indicators.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a transport operator dealing with the shift to green fleets — this project developed a Policy Tracker Tool that lists best practices. You can use this to ensure your service expansion doesn't create new social gaps in underserved areas.
If you are a local authority dealing with the economic impact of green laws — this project developed Twin Transition Inequality Indicators. These metrics allow you to track if your policies are actually helping the workforce or widening the pay gap.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price for using these tools?
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information provided as the project is EU-funded research.
Is this solution available for industrial scale deployment?
The project provides a Policy Tracker Tool and a Co-Creation Framework intended for use by public authorities and policymakers, but specific industrial scaling metrics are not listed.
How is the IP or licensing handled for the tools?
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding IP rights or licensing models for the READJUST Observatory tools.
Which regulations does this project address?
The project aligns with the EU Green Deal and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to prevent unintended inequalities.
What is the timeline for accessing the results?
The project runs from 2024-03-01 to 2027-08-31, meaning full results will be available toward the end of this period.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward practical application, with 40% industry participation (4 companies) and 4 SMEs. With 10 partners across 6 countries, the group balances academic research (1 university, 2 research centers) with operational expertise, suggesting the resulting tools will be grounded in real-world business and policy needs.
