Association of Lika potato producers is a partner in Horizon Europe ALLIANCE

Lika Potato Producers Association is a partner in the project "ALLIANCE" (A holistic framework in the quality Labeled food supply chain systems' management towards enhanced data Integrity and verAcity, interoperability, traNsparenCy, and tracEability), which is coordinated by the University of Thessaly from Greece.The Lika Potato Producers Association is one of the 24 partners involved in the implementation of the project. The ALLIANCE project is aimed at preventing food fraud in the supply chain of products with a quality label such as organic products, products with a label of geographical origin. Food fraud is an increasingly common problem that causes great damage to the food market. The cost to the global economy is estimated at 40-50 billion dollars per year. Food fraud is the deliberate alteration of the properties and composition of food using substitute raw materials, additives and illegal substances, which deceives consumers, reduces the nutritional value of food, and exposes consumers to harmful effects on their health. Food fraud is particularly significant for the quality label food segment due to higher profit margins compared to the rest of the food market. The project leader is Nikola Vidaković, B.Sc.Agr. and the associate is Katarina Sekulić, M.Sc. The projected budget of the project amounts to: €3,843,571 The duration of the project is 36 months, and the start of project implementation is November 1, 2022.

About the project:

ALLIANCE represents a paradigm shift in the Food Supply Chain Systems’ management for the combat against Food Fraud, distinguishing from the traditionally approaches that leverage monolithic digitalized logistic solutions and standalone FSC interoperability protocols. ALLIANCE aims to provide a holistic framework that safeguards data integrity and veracity, enhances traceability and transparency and reinforces interoperability in quality labelled supply chain of organic, PDO, PGI, and GI food, through innovative technology solutions and validated approaches (such as distributed ledger technologies supported by IoT sensing devices, providing extensible anchors to interoperability protocols and use of in-situ portable rapid testing devices to detect adulteration and verify food origin and authenticity) and fosters evidence-based decision making through AI and ML for preventative interventions and actionable planning. The proposed framework will improve social and economic sustainability of quality labelled food supply chains by ensuring quality & authenticity, increasing food safety, while also considering climatic and environmental impacts of food products. The technologies to be employed in this project will be described and demonstrated in detail to reach higher technology readiness levels (TRLs) and enable smooth and rapid adoption by all stakeholders.
