In order for these objectives to be achieved, a highly structured and logical 36-month work plan has been developed with the input of all partners including, among others, primary production stakeholders and food processors and authorities. Eight integrated research and innovation work packages (WPs) have been envisaged in the developed project's work plan. Project management (WP1) will ensure the project's governance. As mentioned above, four pilots have been designed (WP2), and the selected hazards/factors that will be studied across food chain, as well as the pertinent applied protocols and instruments used (i.e. rapid, non-invasive sensors for detection and monitoring), are described in WP3, while the performance of these instruments will be also validated. WP4 will deal with the storage and management of the data derived from WP2, WP3 and WP7. Risk assessment on selected hazards/factors will be studied in WP5, while the validation of the iFSMS, which will be developed in WP6..
