Data4Food Cluster is holding its first online workshop. The goal of this workshop is to identify enablers, pain points, and gains for data sharing and AI-driven food sustainability solutions. 

What is it in for you?  

Get to know all the members of the DATA4FOOD cluster. DRG4FOOD, FOODITY, SOS FOOD and FOODDATAQUEST will briefly introduce their projects.
Then it’s your time:  

Two breakout rooms will be created.  

  • The first one under the guidance of FoodDataQuest and FOODITY  focusing on the citizen and consumers. How do they feel sharing their data online? What are their thoughts on AI-driven solution?  
  • The second one is gathering the views of industry and food system actors. DRG4FOOD and SOSFood will guide you through some questions trying to understand the industry perspectives. What are theirstruggles? What are the black spots of online data sharing (what does it mean?)? How can they create trustworthy solutions? 

Why should you join us? 

Either you are an active citizen, a conscious consumer, a member of civil society or a policymaker, part of a SME/start-up, a food data expert this workshop is for you. We want to hear everyone’s voice, pave the way to a safer data-sharing future and create recommendations that will benefit us all.
