FOODGUARD aims to develop and demonstrate co-created solutions that will support innovations & advances based on microbiome, microbial activities & technology hubs to address food, health, economic and environmental challenges. The envisioned approach consists of a framework of toolsets & methodologies to provide sustainable solutions in food processing, packaging & across the food value chain to address food shelf-life increase & waste reduction in a holistic manner. The proposed solutions aim to (a) extend food shelf life with novel packaging/ bio preservation i.e. use of protective cultures/synthetic microbial consortia, recyclable films with natural antimicrobials or protective cultures;(b)monitor food quality/safety/shelf life with microbial indicators/molecular biomarkers used in smart packaging(TTIs, smart printed tags, no-invasive sensors)& (c) accurately predict food shelf life & improve traceability using predictive models, AI/ ML, Internet of Things & tools like QR,NFR etc.; FOODGUARD toolbox components will be extensively evaluated in real life settings through four pilot demonstrations in 4 different countries with involvement of all relevant actors while covering diverse requirements and different food products. FOODGUARD outcomes target i) to minimize food loss and waste by shelf life extension and prediction,ii) to help the food industry to implement these preservation solutions as an alternative to chemical preservatives,iii)to deploy responsive policy for implementing these approaches as well as to engage consumers educated via tools/platforms, effectively improving awareness &trust in the food sector to(iv)increase traceability, providing real-time supply transparency that will improve the uptake of data-driven innovations in food systems, optimize resource efficiency (reducing food waste from farm to fork)(v)manage increased complexity in agri-food production & supply chain process, make it easier for consumers to adopt a healthy & safe food diet.

FOODGUARD 旨在开发和展示共同创建的解决方案，支持基于微生物组、微生物活动和技术中心的创新和进步，以应对食品、健康、经济和环境挑战。设想的方法包括一个工具集和方法框架，为食品加工、包装和整个食品价值链提供可持续的解决方案，以整体方式解决食品保质期延长和减少浪费的问题。拟议的解决方案旨在（a）通过新型包装/生物保存延长食品保质期，即使用保护性培养物/合成微生物菌群、具有天然抗菌剂或保护性培养物的可回收薄膜；（b）利用微生物监测食品质量/安全/保质期智能包装中使用的指标/分子生物标志物（TTI、智能印刷标签、非侵入式传感器）& (c) 使用预测模型、人工智能/机器学习、互联网准确预测食品保质期并提高可追溯性QR、NFR 等事物和工具； FOODGUARD 工具箱组件将通过在 4 个不同国家进行的四次试点示范，在所有相关参与者的参与下，在现实生活环境中进行广泛评估，同时涵盖不同的要求和不同的食品。 FOODGUARD 的成果目标是 i) 通过延长保质期和预测来最大程度地减少食物损失和浪费，ii) 帮助食品行业实施这些保存解决方案作为化学防腐剂的替代品，iii) 部署响应政策来实施这些方法以及通过工具/平台吸引受教育的消费者，有效提高食品行业的意识和信任度（iv）提高可追溯性，提供实时供应透明度，这将提高食品系统中数据驱动创新的采用，优化资源效率（减少食品浪费从农场到餐桌）(v)管理农产品生产和供应链过程中日益复杂的情况，使消费者更容易采取健康安全的饮食习惯。
