Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'SENSE will deliver a harmonised system for the environmental impact assessment of food&drink products. The research will evaluate existing relevant environmental impact assessment methodologies, and consider socio-economical, quality and safety aspects, to deliver a new integral system that can be linked to monitoring and traceability data. The system will integrate: (a) (regionalised) data gathering system; (b) matrix of key environmental performance indicators; (c) methodology for environmental impact assessment; and (d) a certification scheme. The methodology will be transferred to food&drink sectors and stakeholders by means of specific communications strategies. SENSE will validate the new harmonised system in the juice, meat&dairy and aquaculture chains. However, the methodology and its associated software will be modular allowing its implementation in any food product.
The sustainability information collected along the production cycle of any food stuff and reflected into the EID (Environmental Identification Document) will be accessible by the EID-Communication Platform, contributing to make the environmental sustainability part of the usual purchasing behaviour of consumers and provide a competitive advantage to those products which choose to use the EID.
Main results of SENSE will be: (i)Standard key environmental performance indicators (KEPI); (ii)Harmonised methodology for environmental impact assessment; (iii)SENSE-tool for environmental data collection; (iv)EID and EID-Communication Platform; (v)Certification Scheme Concept (CSC) for sustainability; (vi)Roadmap for policy and governance implementation.
SENSE consortium is formed by a multidisciplinary team involving 23 partners from 13 countries made up by a combination of complementary profiles: research organisations, food and drink SMEs, environmental and LCA experts, SMEs for dissemination and communication and European food Associations.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Europe's food production carries a high eco-impact. New assessment tools and public information will help producers and consumers reduce the impact.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The food industry in Europe has a high environmental impact proportional to its size. The 23-member 'Harmonised environmental sustainability in the European food and drink chain' (http://www.senseproject.eu (SENSE)) will run for 3 years to the end of January 2015.
SENSE aims to deliver a system for assessing the environmental impact of food and drink products, especially beef, milk, salmon and orange juice.
The research will evaluate existing assessment methodologies to deliver a new system capable of being linked to monitoring and traceability data.
Screening available methodologies for assessing environmental impact provided a framework of indicators and methods.
A comprehensive data collection system for industry is ensuring consistency and comparability.
A new software assessment tool can assess impacts, including social impact, throughout entire food chains.
In addition, researchers designed a toolpointing to the most important environmental information for a given food item.
To convey the necessary information to small and medium-sized enterprises, the project used a communication plan.
Results indicate a consumer willingness to act sustainably, but that sustainability is defined inconsistently, and that consumers are often unaware of what is necessary.
SENSE aims to make the required information available to both consumers and suppliers.
SENSE's deliverables are an extension to existing sustainability assessment tools, allowing consideration of important issues including quality and safety.
Resulting nformation publicly available should affect consumer decisions, and thus economically foster sustainable practices.
Similarly, the information will help Europe's food sectors to design and implement such practices.
The resulting endorsement will effectively position those businesses to supply the global market.
