CrackSense will address the fruit cracking challenge in Europe, focusing on real-time monitoring and forecasting by utilising and upscaling sensing and digital data technologies. Since fruit cracking is a peel disorder, limiting fruit quality and yield, the ambition of the project is to monitor agri-environmental conditions because these conditions have a great influence on agricultural production.

Given the strong influence that policy and regulation can play in how we produce food and maintain yield security, Evenflow’s role within the project will be leading the production of Policy Briefs which will clearly present key findings and recommendations of the project to decision makers at both EU and Member State levels. These briefs will aim to facilitate the making of informed and impactful policy decisions, with a view to increasing food supply resilience and operational efficiency.
