Ploutos
A Sustainable Innovation Framework to rebalance agri-food value chains
Ploutos aims to create opportunities for changes that can rebalance the value chain in the agri-food system towards a more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable system.
Until recently approaches to the agri-food system focused on narrow segments of the overall value chain. Ploutos will take a systems-based approach looking at the overall impact of changes at any point in the value chain, thereby enabling a more comprehensive and in depth understanding. To achieve that Ploutos will use the Sustainable Innovative Framework!

Sustainable Innovation Framework
The project aims to create more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable opportunities in the agro food sector.
This procedure, requires new ways of thinking, working and cooperating. This systemic approach refers to the project as Sustainable Innovation Framework and its main purpose is to provide a toolkit for assessment and adaptation to these changes according to its three dimensions: behaviour, collaborative business model and data driven technological innovation.
Sustainable Innovation Pilots
The 11 pilots are focused on innovation implementation and co-design, pilot, validation and assessment of the approaches against their economic, environmental and social performance along the agri food sector.

In Focus: Ploutos at the 13th Agrothessaly Fair
The Ploutos H2020 project works with 11 Sustainable Innovation Pilots (SIPS) in 13 European countries, implementing & testing sustainability-oriented innovations (SOIs). s. Together with other initiatives, such as the Ploutos Innovation Academy, one of the tools to facilitate this exchange and horizontal learning process is the use of case studies. The tool’s purpose is to produce case studies that are accessible and pedagogical to facilitate learning across SIPs and to inform their practices.
