Description and Objective

In times of accelerated food and feed trade and complex, globalised supply chains there is a strong need for efficient tracing strategies including effective communication, data assessment and data exchange strategies as well as powerful tracing tools that are able to interoperate. Despite recent large food crises, those necessities are not fully in place yet. In general, harmonised data structures, digital data collection and, if possible, the use of interfaces to data systems are required to allow for a faster tracing data exchange. As thorough tracing requires accurate and detailed datasets, digital structured data assessment tools including data validation are desirable as well. The AMU28 DataColl project will therefore focus on developing a tracing data collection workflow and a Universal Traceability data eXchange format (UTX) to facilitate interoperability between already existing national and European tracing tools and thereby use the synergies between several national and international projects.
