Strengthening of the Italian Research Infrastructure for Metrology and Open Access Data in support to the Agrifood
Special project
In Italy, the agri-food sector represents excellence in terms of quality, safety, innovation, sustainability, biodiversity, respect for tradition, and connection with the territory and cultural heritage. One of the great challenges for the future is to ensure the supply and consumption of quality food while reducing environmental impact, particularly food waste, and promoting the transition to a circular and sustainable economy.
With the aim of raising awareness among readers about the prevention and reduction of waste from the agri-food system, the column entitled "A glance at circularity" was born, which has found space on the Facebook pages (@Metrofood.it) and Instagram (metrofood_it) of the METROFOOD-IT project, prepared in collaboration with the AGRIFOOD working group of the Italian Platform of Stakeholders for the Circular Economy (ICESP).
