ECO-READY
A real-time surveillance and early warning system as part of a pan-European communication network for assuring food security
ECO-READY will develop a real-time surveillance system – an Observatory offered as an e-platform and as a mobile application. This will function as the necessary singular source of information, provide real-time assessments for the food system, and update forecasts frequently and consistently. It will be available to society, policymakers, the scientific community, and the agri-food industry, and integrated with a network of 10 Living Labs, formed through an Open Call, covering all bioclimatic regions in Europe, forming the ECO-READY project knowledge infrastructure.
Furthermore, ECO-READY will develop an early warning system and decision support tools using innovative Artificial Intelligence based on holistic prediction models and Life Cycle Assessment results but it will also empower the citizens to actively engage in policy making, and interact directly with the scientific community, farmers, industry and policy makers, thus driving change in consumption habits.
