The main goal of FOODITY is to create a European ecosystem of digital solutions that contributes to a more sustainable and healthy food and nutrition system — respecting citizens‘ rights to personal data sovereignty. FOODITY will run a 2M€ pilot development programme for creating 12 data-driven solutions to demonstrate the potential of data-driven innovation in food and nutrition while guaranteeing the user’s full control and ownership over their personal data. These innovations will provide novel solutions to existing research and technical challenges to achieve the four Food 20301 (the EU’s research and innovation policy to build better food systems by 2030) key priorities:
- Nutrition for sustainable and healthy diets,
- Food systems supporting a healthy planet,
- Circularity and resource efficiency,
- Innovation and empowering communities.
Participants in the pilot development programme will be selected through two open calls to be launched in July and October 2023, respectively. Eligible beneficiaries will be research and technology organisations (RTOs) and universities, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), social innovation actors and training organisations.
