The CO-FRESH project, dedicated to promoting sustainable food production and reducing food waste, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful organization of several open national and international workshops. These events served as valuable platforms for showcasing and discussing different technological and non-technological innovations across the entire food value chain.

Held in various locations, the workshops attracted a diverse audience, including researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and consumers. This diverse participation fostered a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives, leading to a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving a more sustainable food system.

The workshops featured presentations on a wide range of innovations, spanning both technological advancements and practical, non-technological solutions. Attendees learned about:

  • Precision agriculture techniques: Utilizing sensors, data analytics, and automation to optimize resource use and crop yields.
  • Innovative food processing technologies: Minimizing waste through improved preservation methods and upcycling techniques.
  • Sustainable packaging solutions: Biodegradable and reusable materials to reduce packaging waste.
