Wireless Sensor Networks for Greening Food Processing IST. ICT Tools for Greening Food Processing Businesses J. Valverde GIST Project “ICT tools greening food processing businesses” is a collaborative project co-funded by the CIP Eco-Innovation Program financial instrument, which main objective is to boost European’s environmental and competitive standing by supporting solutions based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to protect the environment while creating a larger market for “green” technologies, management methods, product and services.
