Within the framework of the Slovenian ORbITaLA Innovation Hub, Food4CE invites producers, cooperative members and local food providers to join the online workshop: “How Can Digital Tools Make Work Easier for Farms and Cooperatives?”

📅 Thursday, 16 October 2025
🕘 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.
📍 Online (Teams link will be sent to registered participants)

During the workshop, experts will demonstrate, through practical examples, how digital tools can simplify and improve your daily work – from storing and tracking products to selling them online.

Programme of the meeting:

Dr. Maršenka Marksel, University of Maribor, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture – An insight into Slovenian and international logistics solutions that work in practice;  

Tomaž Zadravec, Zelena točka – How digital traceability can make farmers’ work easier and increase customer trust (use of blockchain technology);

Anja Logar, Fruštek – Thoughtful digitalisation as the foundation of Fruštek’s boutique production.

What you will gain:

  • Learn about digital solutions for inventory management, order processing, traceability, and sales.
  • See how barcodes, QR codes, and RFID systems can reduce errors and save time.
  • Discover how IT system integration strengthens collaboration along the supply chain – from farmers to shops and public institutions.
  • Explore mobile apps and online shops that enable easy ordering and delivery.
  • Understand the importance of traceability and transparency, which build customer trust and open doors to larger clients (kindergartens, schools, hospitals).

 Why join

  • Practical demonstrations – no complex theory, just useful solutions.
  • Best practices from Slovenia – learn how similar companies, cooperatives, and platforms are already successfully using digital tools (e.g. e-commerce, distribution centres, cooperatives).
  • Direct benefits – improve efficiency, reduce costs, and reach more customers with minimal investment
