Innovations spearheading a nutrition revolution and personal data sovereignty

Data collected in digital solutions in the food and nutrition domain can be used by food producers, distributors and retailers to innovate towards more environmentally friendly activities. However, since the platforms are closed to the public, there is limited possibility of using data for common good. With this in mind, the EU-funded FOODITY project aims to create a healthy ecosystem of digital solutions for food and nutrition that respect citizens’ right to personal data sovereignty. Specifically, the project will carry out a pilot programme funding industry and research collaborations in health and nutrition. The goal is to deliver 12 data-driven solutions, reach more than 200 000 citizens, and demonstrate the potential of a user’s personal data in health and nutrition solutions towards more sustainable food systems.
