The ebbits project officially ended on 28th February 2015. The result is a widely deployable platform that allows enterprises to develop and deploy a new range of business applications by integrating the Internet of People, Things and Services into their systems.

Do you know anything about the meat you buy? With the ebbits app on your smartphone, it becomes possible to get information on the origin and upbringing at the farm; the transport to the slaughterhouse and the retailer. You can read about the meat cut and the best way to prepare it.

Louise and Trine from In-JeT spent a few hours in the cold meat section to ask questions about the consumer app that ebbits has developed for tracing beef from farm to fork.

Would you like to know more about the meat products you buy? Do you think that meat products that can be traced from farm to fork are safer to eat?

Whether or not you have strong opinions and concerns about food safety, and whether or not you already know how technology can be used to trace our food products from farm to fork, then we would like to get your input to the ebbits food traceability application. Please take 2 minutes to fill out this 10 question survey online.

Please be sure to click on "Done" when you have completed the survey.
