Spoke 02 is gathering in Piacenza at the Università Cattolica for its annual meeting. On the 25th and 26th of June, there will be two days dedicated to reviewing the progress of the Work Packages, and thus, the research activities of the Spoke.

Spoke 02, "Smart and Circular Food System and Distribution," whose research activities are coordinated by the National Research Council (CNR), aims to improve the sustainability of food systems through circular economy processes. This involves enhancing waste to obtain high-value-added products and developing applications of intelligent logistics systems for food distribution.

The research projects under Spoke 02 focus on improving food system sustainability through two main strategies: i) applying circular economy approaches to enhance the value of food waste and by-products, resulting in high-value-added products, and ii) developing and implementing smart logistics strategies, digital technologies, and innovative solutions for food distribution, all aimed at enhancing sustainability in the food industry.
