Gornja Radgona, Slovenia – At the 62nd International AGRA Fair, the Slovenian partners of the SmartCommUnity project, spearheaded by the Innovation Technology Cluster Murska Sobota, and part of the expansive DIH AGRIFOOD umbrella network, presented pioneering innovations in agriculture and food technology. This event underscored the latest advancements in production, breeding, and processing technologies, featuring elite global brands in agricultural and forestry machinery and food processing equipment.
The Green Point Test Area (LTA), a crucial participant in the DIH AGRIFOOD network, highlighted their groundbreaking work in Food Safety, Traceability in Short Food Supply Chains, and Food Circularity. Distinguished by its digital innovations, Green Point employs IoT and Blockchain technologies to bolster traceability and transparency of local food products.
In an exciting development, Green Point’s successful strategies are being extended to the Podravje region’s Following Test Area (FTA). The AGRA fair facilitated a meaningful exchange of knowledge and practices, as representatives from the Podravje region visited the Green Point booth, enhancing the interconnectivity within the DIH AGRIFOOD ecosystem.
Serving as a Living Lab, Green Point invites consumer involvement in experimental research, offering platforms for testing new products, services, and solutions. These initiatives do not merely improve product traceability; they also strategically tackle food waste by repurposing surplus into value-added products.
This collaborative extension between LTA and FTA signifies substantial progress in the regional connectivity and sustainable development initiatives driven by the Innovation Technology Cluster Murska Sobota under the DIH AGRIFOOD network.
