A holistic frameWork with Anticounterfeit and inTelligence-based technologieS that will assist food chain stakehOlders in rapidly identifying and preventing the spread of fraudulent practices

Abstract

WATSON is an €11 million 3-year project that has been funded under the EU’s research and innovation framework, Horizon Europe to combat fraudulent practices in the food supply chain.

Watson’s interdisciplinary consortium of 44 partners across 19 EU and non-EU countries will develop a holistic traceability framework that will integrate data-driven services, intelligence-based toolsets and risk-estimation approaches, enabling food safety authorities to identify and prevent fraudulent activities.

WATSON will rely upon the following digital and intelligence-based technologies:

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
  •  A suite of novel Spectroscopy-based Technology

The project is organized around 6 agri-food sectors. The proposed framework will be tested in 6 different European countries considering different operational procedures and diverse environments.

Financing/ Donor
