Small-Scale, Big Impact: Innovative Approaches for Local Food Processing

FOX Food Processing in a Box

Get ready to unlock the potential of food innovation! Join the very unconventional final conference of the EU-funded project FOX in Brussels

Brussels

Join us at the FOX project's final conference as we unveil the transformation of large-scale food processing into small, mobile, and flexible units. Discover how FOX has promoted short food supply chains in 6 European regions and the vast potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and farmers to establish local production hubs through the use of innovative and gentle food processing technologies. This interactive conference offers a unique opportunity to witness a live demonstration of one of our mobile processing units at the Brussels Food Bank. Gain insights into the benefits of our 4 small-scale mild processing technologies and explore the relevance of the FOX approach for health and sustainability, short food supply chains and local production hubs, consumer engagement for sustainable consumption, and life cycle costs. Engage in knowledge exchange with other policymakers, stakeholders, and industry experts to foster collaboration aimed at developing supportive policies and sharing best practices.

<h3>A﻿bout FOX</h3>
FOX, a 4.5-year research project, revolutionizes fruit and vegetable processing. By developing small, flexible, and mobile units, FOX brings large-scale processing technology closer to your neighborhood. It promotes sustainability, innovation, and healthier food production through preservation, packaging, and quality control. Deployed in six EU regions, FOX creates local business opportunities and engages consumers to rebuild trust in the food chain. With a consortium of 25 partners, including universities, SMEs, and research institutions, FOX pioneers innovative food processing technologies in mobile containers.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 817683.
