GoodFood aims at developing the
new generation of analytical methods based on Micro
and Nanotechnology (MST and MNT) solutions for the
full safety and quality assurance along the complete
food chain in the agrofood industry. Current and
future concerns related to agrofood safety and
quality will increasingly require a
multidisciplinary and universal approach based on
the massive use of simple detection systems able to
be used "near to the foodstuff'. The nowadays-used
technology to assess food safety and quality relies
in lab solutions that are bulky, costly, punctual
and time consuming. On the contrary, GoodFood
approach will comply, through the development of
innovative MNT solutions, with the needs of
ubiquity, low cost and low power, fast response,
simple use and fully interconnection to the
decisional bodies.
A multidisciplinary integration of know how and
technology is required for addressing the broad
requirements of the agrofood field. An Integrated
Project is proposed to keep such a global view. The
Project aims at the vertical integration of Micro
and Nano Technologies from the land to the market.
The main demands identified by the agrofood sector
will be the applications that will drive the
technological developments within GoodFood. The need
for increasing the control of products at different
critical steps of the food chain (control of raw
materials and feed supply, improvement of food
processing, monitoring of storage and logistics, and
control of safety and quality of final products)
will be addressed by GoodFood with a vertical and
horizontal integration of food, bio, and electronics
experience for developing a set of systems with
clear breakthrough solutions to specific safety and
quality and traceability requirements. The proposed
solutions will be also integrated under an Ambient
Intelligence approach, which will allow fully
interconnection and communication of multisensing
systems. Good Food vision is 'to bring the lab to
the foodstuff".
