The food supply system is facing over-arching challenges such as climate-change pressures, growing population, human and animal health, and food and food-related waste. From a Food Standards perspective, the focus is on food safety and food security. In other words, food provenance matters. Working with Dr. Naomi Jacobs and Professor Louise Manning at the University of Lancaster we’re exploring how data ethics come to life in new governance models such as Data Foundations, particularly in relation to allergens and how health and food supply chain data combine to support people with access to more information to manage their nutrition.
Internet of Food Things: Data Governance in the Food Sector, 05-07 February, UK
We’re helping to solve problems with data sharing in the food sector for three days as part of a spin-out project. This includes both collaborating organisations and competing organisations in the supply chain interacting with third parties such as regulatory bodies, trade organisations and service providers. Every sector seems to be experiencing significant challenges in this area and we’re hoping to contribute to solving them.
