Rice as a sustainable supply
Wednesday 22 February 2023 From 8:45 am - To 9:45 am (CEST)Quality and nutritional aspects in the era of circular economy and functional nutrition
Rice is a fundamental raw material, which plays an important role in the diet and economic prosperity of the territories.
However, its production is often associated with risks in terms of sustainability, for example due to the abundant use of water for irrigation or the greenhouse gas emissions of its production cycle.
In the Italian scenario of this supply chain there are many projects with the aim of divulging the real extent in terms of sustainability and of establishing advantageous collaborations between several parties interested in innovating and evolving the way in which rice is grown, harvested and distributed. It is possible to make this cereal more sustainable for both people and the planet through cutting-edge technologies and better farming practices.
During the webinar, starting from the concept of analytical traceability of the product, some case studies related to research progress in the fields of quality and food design will be discussed, recalling some fundamental aspects related to the nutritional properties of rice. These are optimization models, for example the virtuous use of water, the reduction of CO2 emissions and the promotion of biodiversity.
We are pleased to talk about "Enhancement of fish products through sustainability" with:
- Rice
- Colture Sustainability
- Food traceability
Digital Food Ecosystem is a partnership led by aizoOn in collaboration with technology partner companies, universities and research centers offering solutions in the Agrifood sector that meet challenges and specific needs of companies in three different areas:
- Business: the company’s business model is redesigned by making changes in the value chain and processes, allowing its evolution or revision, sometimes even complete;
- Methodologies: new methods and approaches are identified, valid on one or more parts of the process, designing and activating their implementation;
- Technologies: technological solutions are developed, applied and implemented, based on the integration of IT and OT components, which have a direct impact on company operations at different levels of pervasiveness and extension.
DFE’s ability to propose arises from the experience and results obtained in the Food Digital Monitoring (FDM) research program.
DFE is an ecosystem that provides the agrifood chain with a specific and distinctive capacity for digital innovation, complete in terms of approach, methods, tools and technologies.
