Background
Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) aims to ensure that everyone has access to sufficient, sustainable, affordable, safe, and nutritious food. A sustainable food system (SFS) is one that delivers FNS in such a way that economic, social, and environmental resources are not compromised. In the European Union, there are several sectors associated with FNS, in which vast amounts of relevant data are collected. Consequently, existing resources (data, knowledge, tools and services) for health and agri-food sciences are fragmented, lack critical mass, and access by user communities is ‘unevenly’ distributed.
Objectives and expected impact
Sharing and re-use of open FNS data would contribute to strengthened partnership between different FNS scientific areas, such as agri-food sciences and engineering, nutrition sciences, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence,
Role of ILSI Europe
ILSI Europe is a partner contributing mainly in Work Packages 6 (Dissemination, Communication and Community Engagement) and 7 (Education, training & support).
