InoFA aspires to contribute to the maturation of the greek agri-food supply chain operations
The Internet of Food Alliance (InoFA) is a collaborative innovation cluster that brings together research and education institutions, the civil society and businesses across the agri-food supply chain in order to assist the implementation of state-of-the-art technological capabilities.
- Purpose of the initiative is meet the emanating challenges related to the circular agricultural economy, food traceability and the environmental footprint.
- The cluster seeks to optimize the process, distribution and storage of products through the digitization of information.
- By means of machine learning and artificial intelligence, insights will be provided to all parties involved regarding the movement and state of the food products flowing across the supply chain.
NextFOOD drives the crucial transition to more sustainable and competitive agri-food and forestry systems development by designing and implementing education and training systems to prepare budding or already practicing professionals with competencies to push the green shift in our rapidly changing society.
- Enhancing the co-creation of innovation and knowledge in agriculture, forestry and related bio-value chains.
- Developing an innovative European science and education roadmap for sustainable agriculture.
- Inducing a paradigm shift from a linear to a cyclical approach of learning.
A Collaborative and Action-Oriented Learning Model
MEDIFIT aims to enable traceability and authenticity control of traditional Mediterranean foods using latest analytical and software technologies.
The overarching objective of MEDIFIT is to enable traceability, authenticity control of traditional Mediterranean foods integrating innovative analytical methods and digital technologies. To accomplish that, the consortium will link Decision Support Systems (DSSs) to a cloud-based Distributed Data and Service Integration BackBone (DDSIBB) providing access to decentralized food integrity information repositories.
MEDIFIT will implement this IT-standards-driven solution for food integrity scenarios in two Mediterranean food chains: honey and cheese products by adopting a multi-actor approach from farm to fork. A key aspect of MEDIFIT will be to disseminate this platform to end-users, and organizing training courses for companies and stakeholders.

Fish chain is particularly vulnerable to frauds, primarily to species substitution and mislabelling. Seafood products are harvested, processed, shipped, and marketed by wholesalers, to ultimately be sold or served to final consumers. Today, consumers look for healthier, fresh, and natural food.
- SUREFISH wants to tell consumers the story behind their seafood products, with final goal of valorising traditional Mediterranean fish, fostering the supply chain innovation and consumer confidence on Mediterranean fish products.
- SUREFISH will deploy innovative solutions to achieve unequivocal traceability, authenticity and preventing fish frauds. The technologies is based on Radio Frequency Indicators (RFID), Blockchain, Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) and tamper-proof technologies.
- Finally, SURFISH harmonizes and validates the pre-selected analytical methods and techniques for relevant fish frauds, and creates a trans-national laboratories network.
