FOPRODES Operational Group: Traceability and carbon footprint of dehydrated protein fodder

A cloud-based information system that allows the entire management process for the production of dehydrated fodder. The corresponding activities that must be carried out during the production process will be established in it. It will also allow determining when they have been carried out. The system will be available as open source for use by any agent in the sector who wishes to do so.

A calculator that allows each entity to determine its carbon footprint by characterizing its installation and production. To do this, the calculator will receive data on production operations in one or more plots, the characterization of the crops in them, and will establish the CO2 balance resulting from a harvest. The system will be available as open source for use by any agent in the sector who wishes to do so.

Implementation of an auditable system of operations based on blockchains. The blockchain will initially be set up with the participation of project partners, but will remain open to the incorporation of other agents into the chain if they so wish. This chain will allow the recording of the operations carried out on the crop and, in this way, ensure traceability of the same in order to verify the calculations of the CO2 footprint.

Set of repositories of results generated by the project (source code, knowledge models, etc.) that are accessible to the entire sector. The project seeks to maximize the dissemination of the results in the sector in order to achieve a higher level of digitalization of the sector.

A technical, organisational and economic exploitation guide model for the possibilities offered by the implementation of traceability systems and the quantification of carbon footprint.
