The Ploutos project focusses on rebalancing the value chain for the agri-food system, transforming it into one that works for the benefit of society and the environment. The project is developing a Sustainable Innovation Framework that follows a systemic approach to the agri-food sector, building on three pillars: Behavioural Innovation, Sustainable Collaborative Business Model Innovation and Data-driven Technology Innovation. Ploutos is deploying 11 innovative systemic Sustainable Innovation Pilots, based on a Multi-Actor Approach, where new innovative solutions and methodologies will be implemented, tested, assessed, and providing practical lessons learned.

ITC is managing pilot in Slovenia, focused in applying soil-passport approach and precision farming technologies to increase soil health and promote sustainable farming practices.
