With approximately USD 93 billion in losses in crop and livestock production due to natural hazards and disasters in developing countries between 2005 and 2014, there is a pressing need to address inefficiencies in the food system. The global agricultural dry biomass consumed as food is just 6%, with the highest rates of loss associated with livestock production. The EU agri-food sector faces challenges such as a decade-long income stagnation, an unbalanced value chain, and increasing societal expectations for environmental protection and the provision of secure, nutritional, and healthy food.
BBTWINS will develop and validate two digital twins for meat and fruit production, integrating the entire agri-food value chain and feedstock in a single scheme. The project aims to enhance bio-processing operations by creating a realistic digital simulation model using IoT, AI, machine learning, and spatial information, coupled with blockchain and logistic solutions. The digital twins will predict optimal pre-treatment and paths for feedstock based on varying conditions, optimizing operations year-round.
BBTWINS’ Digital Twins, combined with advanced and innovative enabling technologies, will: (i) enhance biomass availability, resource efficiency, and sustainability in the bio-based industry, (ii) reduce biomass losses during the processing stages of the value chain, and (iii) enable a longer storage time before processing through more efficient pre-treatment steps and storage methods, thereby preserving valuable components more effectively.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 under grant agreement Nº 101023334
“BBTWINS marks a strategic breakthrough in the improvement of technologies for meat and fruit production in Spain and Greece, facilitating the transition to a more sustainable and efficient agriculture. ”
