Multi-disciplinary research methodology
DEFENSEFOOD employs a multi-disciplinary
research methodology to address the complex
challenges of CBR threats in food systems.
The three use cases (cereals, shellfish, and water) function as validation environments to:
- Test AI-driven risk anticipation
- Validate rapid CBR detection methods
- Simulate impact mitigation strategies
- Develop recovery and decision-support frameworks
- Strengthen cross-sector preparedness
01
First Use Case
Cereal Supply Chain
Cereals are foundational to European and global food security. The EU produces approximately 300 million tonnes annually and is traditionally a net exporter.
02
Second Use Case
Shellfish Supply Chain
The shellfish industry is global, with significant cross-border trade.
03
Third Use case
Water Use
The water supply chain is increasingly affected by climate change, which intensifies challenges such as water scarcity, flooding, and pollution.
