Project description
Sealing a sustainable and green food system
The EU's Farm to Fork Strategy under the European Green Deal aims to provide a holistic strategy to transform the European food sector into an environment friendly, resilient, healthy, and fair system. To succeed, it requires scientific, technological, economic, and social systemic support. The EU-funded ENOUGH project will contribute to this aim by creating new knowledge, technologies, tools, and methods to enable the sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The project also aims to increase the sustainability of food systems and provide selected innovative technological solutions ready for application by EU companies to secure a future robust and sustainable food supply chain.
Objective
The ENOUGH project will provide technologies, tools and methods to contribute to the EU Farm to Fork strategy to achieve climate neutral food businesses. The ENOUGH project will identify how the food industry can
1. Reduce GHG-emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels.
2. Achieve climate neutrality for food businesses by reducing energy use and increasing energy efficiency by 2050.
3. Improve the overall integrated sustainability of food systems (including social/health, climate/environmental and economic aspects) whilst at the same time meeting societal goals.
4. Increase awareness among policy makers, businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, institutions, stakeholders and citizens of selected innovative systemic solutions and their potential for uptake at EU scale.
The project brings together 30 partners from 9 EU nations, Norway, Turkey and the UK, who have in depth expertise across the whole food chain (refrigeration, cooking, baking, drying). The ENOUGH project is constructed around 11 work packages (WP): WP1 will identify 1990 and 2020 baselines for GHG emissions and will then forecast how emissions will change moving forward to 2030 and 2050. In WP2, we will identify what are the energy efficient measures and new technologies that are vital to achieve the maximum reductions in emissions. In WP4 we will use all the information and models from WP1 and 2 to develop a web-based tool that will identify the benefits of thermal integration heating and cooling and provide information on potential global emission reductions across the whole food chain. In WP5, data from food process and the food supply chain will be used to optimize and better control operations and technologies to minimize emissions. In WP3 and 7 we will examine how social behaviour, policy and finance can add to the GHG reductions target. In WP6, the more relevant and promising technologies will be demonstrated. A set of the most promising technologies TRL (5-7) have been pre-selected for demonstration based on their relevance and readiness. Additional technologies/operational adaptations will be added during the project and will be selected using a robust process managed by the coordinator and demonstrated in real life. Work from the ENOUGH project will be widely disseminated with an ambitious communication plan in WP8. WP9 includes all project management. WP10 oversees the ethics compliance of the project and WP11 includes communication with European Commission.
