Clust-ER Agrifood

Clust-ER Agrifood is an associations of over 100 public and private bodies: companies, research centres and training institutions that share skills, ideas and resources to support the competitiveness of the regional agrifood sector. The agrifood sector is an economic engine for Italy and in particular for the Emilia-Romagna region, thanks to a high level of specialisation and a great number of products bearing the prestigious PDO (protected designation of origin) and PGI (protected geographical indication) labels which are exported all over the world.
The sector covers the whole “from farm to fork” value chain: starting from the farmed produce all the way to the consumers’ plates, it includes ICT systems, equipment and machineries, transformation and packaging plants, logistics and food by-products and waste valorisation.
