Advancing footprinting for a rapid food transition
A truly sustainable food system is possible. Research has shown scenarios which feed Europe with healthy and sustainable diets.
But how to make that transition effective, efficient, and equitable?
Current research provides a good indication of which foods are the most sustainable.
But today's vital databases often focus on food as farmed, not on the plate. Modeling of the trade and processing stages between farm and plate is often coarse.
The project invests in advancing the state of the art in food information systems, by developing more precise, accurate, and up-to-date footprints of foods on the supermarket shelf.
Investing in foundational science and tools for food footprinting.
