BREADCRUMB Final General Assembly: Looking Back and Planning Ahead

On 6 November 2026, the BREADCRUMB consortium gathered in Brussels for its Final General Assembly, following the Joint Final Event with ROSETTA and CATALYSE.

Held at the Herman Teirlinck Building, the meeting brought project partners together to review achievements, discuss the future of BREADCRUMB’s results and prepare the final steps ahead of the project’s conclusion in December 2026.

Reviewing our achievements and looking ahead

After almost three years of collaboration, the Final General Assembly was an opportunity to reflect on the project’s progress and focus on how its results can continue to make an impact.

Three project partners led the main discussions:

Project coordinator, ILVO led the review of project progress, final deliverables, reporting requirements and next steps.

VLTN presented the Food Value Navigator (FVN), including a demonstration of the tool and a discussion on its future use beyond the project.

PNO Innovation reviewed the project’s exploitation strategy, business model development and opportunities for the future uptake of results.

The team also shared communication and dissemination achievements, progress towards project KPIs and the remaining activities.

The BREADCRUMB journey continues beyond the project

As BREADCRUMB approaches its conclusion, the consortium remains focused on completing its final activities and supporting the continued use of the knowledge, tools and results developed throughout the project.

A big thank you to all BREADCRUMB partners for their dedication, expertise and collaboration over the past three years.

Our project may be coming to an end, but our shared ambition continues: reducing food waste and building more sustainable food systems through research, evidence and innovation.
