Abstract

MED Food TTHubs is a PRIMA project that seeks to support the implementation of full-path tracing practices through the whole distribution channel from seed to shelf in order to achieve safer and more sustainable Mediterranean food products. Aiming to implement full transparency concerning the traceability and authenticity in the food supply sector, MED Food TTHubs taps into cutting edge technologies and &ldquoInternet of Things&rdquo (IoT) solutions and builds on standardised approaches to food production processes and location identification, transparent monitoring procedures and innovative business partnerships. Therefore, MED Food TTHubs establishes and operates seven pilot Trace & Trust Hubs forming a transnational network playing the role of a one-stop-shop for traceability and authenticity for &ldquoadded value&rdquo Mediterranean food products. The Med Food TTHubs consortium consists of 10 partners from Greece (Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), University of Patras (UoP) and Green Project SA (GP)), Portugal (INOV INESC Inovação), Spain (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM)), Italy (TECNOALIMENTI S.C.p.A (TCA) and Engineering (ENG)), Egypt (Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT)), Tunisia (Higher School of Engineers of Medjez El Bab (ESIM)) and Jordan (Jordan University of Science & Technology (JUST)), covering a wide range of expertise.
