Abstract

On 9th October 2024, a second EATS co-design workshop was held at Scotland House in London. SRUC hosted the hybrid policy lab, which used creative practices to facilitate contributions from a range of voices involved in agri-food policymaking. It drew together key UK agri-food business and advisory actors, with representatives from industry bodies, policy makers and government. It built on the recommendations from the first Policy Lab and explored lessons learned from the EATS case studies and related projects and programmes from the last 2 years. EATS (Enhancing Agri-food Transparent Sustainability) is a research project set up to develop and explore opportunities for an actionable information (analysed data) ecosystem whose purpose is to deliver transparent sustainability. The project is taking an interdisciplinary design approach to investigating the future of food, and the uses of innovative technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Over the past two years we have investigated the role of sensors and carbon reporting tools in capturing data about agri-food processes; developing a trusted digital platform able to manage sustainability data and report it across supply chain actors; and utilising data- analytics and machine learning to support decision-making and action. Leading to decision-making and actionable insights that promote environmental sustainability at supply chain scale.
