DESCRIPTION:Digitalizing food supply systems for business and global benefi
 ts: reflections on the UK Trusted Bytes project\n\nPresented by Steve Brew
 er\n\nRegister & watch webinar\n\nSteve Brewer is a research and project c
 oordinator at the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT) at the
  University of Lincoln (UK) working on projects that aim to reduce food wa
 ste\, increase nutritional value and productivity\, and reduce environment
 al impact across the supply chain. He has been coordinating the UKRI-funde
 d Internet of Food Things Network Plus\, an interdisciplinary UK-wide init
 iative as well as supporting two Innovate UK projects developing innovativ
 e digitally-enabled food manufacturing and production supply chain solutio
 ns with industrial partners. In addition to data-centric food production s
 upply chains\, he is also interested in how human networks in the research
  community better connect with wider societal goals. His research is looki
 ng into how best practices emerge from networks and what governance mechan
 isms and skill sets can best optimise such practices whether at a human or
  data sharing level of interaction. His research environment is split betw
 een Prof Simon Pearson’s LIAT group at the University of Lincoln and Prof 
 Jeremy Frey’s Computational Systems Chemistry Group at the University of S
 outhampton.\n\nAbstract\n\nAt all levels - global\, national and local – f
 ood supply chains are facing unprecedented pressure. The Covid pandemic br
 ought home to the UK its reliance in international trade links to ensure a
  steady supply of food. In particular\, the UK is dependent on many highly
  perishable products such as fruit and vegetable which for seasonality rea
 sons cannot be produced in the UK. Fresh produce supply-chains are therefo
 re the archetype of 'just-in-time' modality\, where delays or disruption l
 eads to food waste and massive financial losses. The Trusted Bytes project
  has been funded by the UK Government’s Manufacturing made smarter Industr
 ial Research fund to address these challenges. The project brings together
  technology businesses and academic research teams to work with fresh prod
 uce providers to develop an interoperable ecosystem for trusted data excha
 nge. Outcomes are being integrated with new standards-compliant API's to f
 acilitate cross border transition alongside new telecommunications technol
 ogies that provide ubiquitous access to data. This talk also describes the
  underlying research that has contributed to these concepts\, namely the r
 ole of new technology and of data in digitalized supply chain\, as well as
  interdisciplinary collaborative research and the co-creation process need
 ed when transferring innovation to the wider community.\n\nChair: Laurette
  Dubé (Scientific Director of MCCHE)\n	Co-Chair & Moderator: John G. Keogh 
 (Professor of Practice\, MCCHE\; Founder\, Shantalla Inc.)\n\nSpecial Pane
 l: A panel will follow with scientists and action leaders to advance conve
 rgence science and innovation at the food\, health\, medicine and healthca
 re interfaces for addressing challenge and possibilities afforded by open-
 sciences in accelerating world-scale transformation toward sustainable pro
 sperity. Discussion will also explore how digital transformation of scienc
 e\, business and society can accelerate the bridging of seemingly incompat
 ible commons and value-capture logics\, capabilities\, processes and impac
 ts.\n
