GleanCirc – Cross-Regional Digital Solutions for Agricultural Surplus Recovery
About
Large quantities of edible produce are abandoned at field level each year across Europe due to market imperfections and logistical gaps. This initiative seeks to develop a cross-regional digital gleaning infrastructure — coordinating surplus collection by volunteer networks and routing recovered produce to food redistribution organisations. Spanning RIVCircular's Innovation Valley regions, the solution integrates a lightweight digital matching and logistics layer with local circular economy actors. It targets measurable food waste reduction, contributes to regional circular economy strategies, and generates a replicable, open model adaptable across agri-food contexts.
