Food Port - Connecting Food Port Regions - Between and Beyond

Programme 2007 - 2013 North Sea Region

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

Food Port aims to develop the North Sea Region (NSR) as the best food cluster and hub in Europe for food products delivered via efficient and sustainable transport systems e.g. ‘green transport corridors’. Food Port brings together local authorities, knowledge organisations, food industries and ports from 6 countries to find practical solutions to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of the food supply chains. The project will investigate and develop green transport corridors for food products between regions around the North Sea. This will lead to concrete modal shift pilots along the identified green transport corridors and to the development of (new) food platforms or hubs. In order to improve the food-logistic chains, new technological solutions will be incorporated, such as a technical support platform.
