Imagine a digital detective for your food. It uses satellites to watch farms from space, tiny light-sensors to spot fake ingredients, and DNA tests to prove where a product actually comes from. All this info is locked in a digital ledger so no one can cheat the system.
High-value organic and regional foods are frequent targets for fraud and adulteration. Current verification methods are often too slow, expensive, or unable to monitor large-scale production accurately.
An integrated toolbox featuring Earth Observation markers, MEMS-based photonic sensors, portable DNA analysis kits, and a blockchain-enhanced traceability system.
If you are a certification agency dealing with the difficulty of monitoring vast farmlands — this project developed Earth Observation markers that allow you to monitor large areas efficiently. This reduces the need for constant manual site visits while ensuring organic compliance.
If you are a producer of high-value regional foods dealing with counterfeit products — this project developed a portable DNA analysis kit that verifies species origin. This protects your brand from mislabeling and fraud in the market.
If you are a logistics provider dealing with quality disputes during delivery — this project developed an IoT network with sensors for temperature and humidity. This ensures the integrity of organic products is maintained throughout the supply chain.
Based on available project data, the specific commercial price per unit is not listed, though the project emphasizes the development of 'low-cost' MEMS sensors and scalable solutions.
Yes, the project focuses on scalable solutions and has already validated Earth Observation markers and IoT networks across four pilot demonstrations in different countries.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project delivers an integrated toolbox for verification and prevention of adulterations.
Yes, it specifically targets non-compliances in organic and geographical indications (GI) food supply chains to ensure transparency and security.
The project developed a high-level system architecture designed to integrate these components seamlessly with existing systems using blockchain and interoperable data platforms.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 11 industrial partners representing 61% of the group. This high ratio, combined with 3 SMEs and 6 countries involved, suggests the project is focused on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely academic research.
