FOX is all about health and sustainability – and how technologies can support and promote these goals. The innovative processing solutions are therefore flexible, resource-efficient, and based on seasonality and demand. It considers the expectations of farmers and small food businesses, looks at the technical and economic feasibility, and takes into account the needs of consumers and the food chain. The latter will be actively involved in the development of new products and new business options for sustainable consumption. This allows for transparency and trust in the food chain. FOX stimulates short food supply chains; transitioning from a more centralised industry, to local production hubs. So-called food-circles are the European regions in which the FOX technologies will be demonstrated to be integrated into the entire food production chain. This brochure is the third in a series alongside 50 Trends influencing Europe's food sector by 2035 and Three scenarios for Europe's food sector in 2035, which were published as part of the FOX project.enInnovationScenariosForesightSustainabilityFoodBusiness modelsLocal food systems.
