WP6 – Innovation in pre/post production.
Activities Carried Out
The activity focuses on innovation in oil production and packaging, with the aim of supporting small producers and niche markets. This Work Package involves the study and popularization of high quality micro plant systems to enable dissemination and access to oil (self-)production even for small/small producers or for niche productions. In addition, innovative actively controlled packaging systems and web-based sensor and information systems on quality and traceability/traceability extended to the entire supply chain are studied.
