Project description
Rethinking the organic food chain
Europe’s organic food sector is struggling to overcome fragmented supply chains and limited processing innovations. It is also scrambling to increase consumer demand. With this in mind, the EU-funded WINN-ORGANIC project will establish Organic Food Innovation Hubs in seven countries. These hubs will serve as testbeds for new solutions, from eco-friendly packaging and open-source digital tools to gentler processing techniques for organic fruits, vegetables, and dairy. The hubs will connect farmers, researchers, businesses, and policymakers to co-develop scalable innovations. WINN-ORGANIC will also promote co-learning and new business models to strengthen the sector, ultimately offering policy recommendations to support organic food systems beyond 2030.
Objective
WINN-Organic will establish Organic Food Innovation Hubs (OFIHs) across 7 European countries (5 Member States:taly, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Hungary;1 Associated Country: UK and 1 Third Country: Switzerland) that will address systemic imbalances in the organic food value chain and contribute to stimulating demand for organic food. Based on an Open and Systemic innovation ecosystem model, OFIHs will be the place for co-creating, testing, implementing and upscaling innovative solutions focusing on processing (small scale-controlled fermentation, low heat pasteurization and low pressure drying); sustainable packaging (new biodegradable/compostable bioplastics); and open-source digital infrastructure (short-supply chains, food procurement and an open food supply network) applicable in the organic fruit, vegetable and dairy sectors in Europe and adaptable to the needs of organic operators. Co-learning and knowledge exchange (Community of Practice, training, capacity building, cross-fertilisation) will drive replication that will trigger innovation up-scaling and out-scaling and connect multiple actors within local organic food systems. The MAA will be based on the adoption of the Living Lab and quintuple helix approaches for setting up OFIHs and steer their rolling out. New business and financial models will be identified and adapted, and strategies will be designed to maximize impact. The sustainability impacts of the WINN-Organic innovative solutions and approaches will be assessed by a holistic framework and serve as input for further developments. WINN-Organic will provide policy recommendations for post-2030.
