AIM
ALLIANCE aims to provide a holistic framework to help maintain food data integrity and accuracy, increasing traceability and transparency, and strengthen interoperability in the supply chain for quality-labelled (organic, PDO, PGI and GI) foods.
Whilst organic, PDO, PGI and GI foods are increasingly popular amongst consumers, fraud associated with these quality-labelled products also more frequently. Solutions that combat fraud or prevent incidences earlier must be easily adopted by all involved in the food production, processing, distribution, and supply chain management.
ALLIANCE focuses on life cycle stages in quality-labelled food production from farm-to-fork and will offer novel solutions to create more fraud-resilient and pro-active food supply chain systems.
