The Goals of the Solutions

• The Goals of the Solutions:

  InnOFoodLabs will advance 23 innovations in organic food supply chains through 12 Living Labs across 9 European countries and a Community of Practice. By improving organic food processing and distribution, the project aims to transform organic value chains into pillars of local economies. The innovations focus on small-scale food processing, sustainable packaging, farmer-processor connections, and innovative supply and distribution models. Innovation roadmaps will be crafted, outlining activities, targets, and responsibilities, with progress documented in “innovation diaries”. The Community of Practice will facilitate knowledge exchange and capacity building via peer-to-peer exchanges, training, and study visits, operating both nationally and internationally. Sustainability impact assessments will be conducted on selected innovations through tailored assessment frameworks developed by Living Lab members, drawing on established sustainability tools and life cycle assessment.
