Back in Brussels to talk about #digitalisation and #transparency in the #foodsystem. Which is good, but helped considerably by the #artdeco building choice
@TITANprojectEU – at Brussels, Belgium

Reads like a fairytale now, but it’s just the heights that extraordinary team of ours reached. Scotland’s greatest.
Thanks to @connectsmes for producing this report on our Smart strategy/smart policy: advancing digital transparency in the EU food system meeting at @Europarl_EN last week

Two very rewarding days spent in Brussels, co-organising two events with @ILSI_Europe, @WUR and @connectsmes, revolving around the findings of the @TITANprojectEU on enhancing food system transparency.

Day 2 - Smart Strategy, Smart Policy: Advancing Digital Transparency in the EU Food System at @Europarl_EN
Key message: rapid regulatory shifts (from #FarmtoFork to #Omnibus) create uncertainty, stifle innovation and can disproportionately harm SMEs - consistency is key
In the coming months, we'll be taking this work forward in developing a policy roadmap. In the meantime, there's more information on this work at titanproject.eu
- and our first policy brief is at titanproject.eu/wp-content/u…
En route to Brussels, where I'm looking forward to co-organising a workshop tomorrow on Shaping Transparent Food Systems as part of @TITANprojectEU.

So sad to hear this news. John was such a kind and generous person, and a great lecturer. Incredibly supportive from my first tutorial as an undergrad and beyond.
