European food chain supply to reduce GHG emissions by 2050

Solutions developed

The EU-funded ENOUGH project will contribute to this aim by creating new knowledge, technologies, tools, and methods to enable the sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The project also aims to increase the sustainability of food systems and provide selected innovative technological solutions ready for application by EU companies to secure a future robust and sustainable food supply chain.

Main results

The ENOUGH project will provide technologies, tools and methods to contribute to the EU Farm to Fork strategy to achieve climate neutral food businesses. The ENOUGH project will identify how the food industry can 1. Reduce GHG-emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. 2. Achieve climate neutrality for food businesses by reducing energy use and increasing energy efficiency by 2050. 3. Improve the overall integrated sustainability of food systems (including social/health, climate/environmental and economic aspects) whilst at the same time meeting societal goals. 4. Increase awareness among policy makers, businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, institutions, stakeholders and citizens of selected innovative systemic solutions and their potential for uptake at EU scale.
