ENOUGH Industry workshop: demonstrating solutions for minimizing emissions from food supply chains

This workshop is an open event that will discuss results of demonstrators of the EU project ENOUGH that provide technological solutions for reducing emissions in the supply chain of foods, as well as solutions from sister EU projects Agro2Circular and ZeroWaste. We also emphasize the industry perspective with contributions from VCBT, FreshTrade and Flanders' Food. The workshop is followed by field visits on Thursday 19/9.
