Last Friday, the launch meeting of the SOSFood project took place in Compostela, at the CiTIUS facilities. This arises from the collaboration between USC, the Datalife digital innovation hub and the University of Vigo through the Investigacións Agro-ambientais e Alimentarias group.

The main researcher of the project, Jesús Simal Gándara, attached to CISPAC and professor at UVigo, emphasizes the relevance of SOSfood in the current context. "The farmers' demonstrations against the 2030 Agenda highlight the importance of involving all interested parties, including the farmers themselves, in the development and implementation of policies related to agriculture and the environment," he says. Therefore, adds the person responsible for the proposal, "it is crucial to find a balance between the need to protect the environment and promote sustainable agricultural practices, while providing support and ensuring the profitability of agricultural, livestock and fishing activities".

SOSFood will use the potential of data exploitation technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an accurate and global picture of the European food system, thus promoting the development of predictive tools.
