Apple Reserve

Apple Reserve
Walbrzych, Poland

THE INNOVATION:

Apple Reserve is an innovative juice business that makes use of traditional apple varieties such as Antonówka, Kronselska or from traditional orchards, respecting the Polish countryside landscape, local ecosystems, biodiversity, circularity, in the spirit of less-waste. The founders were driven by the need for alternatives to large-scale monocultures often seen in modern agriculture, and to find a way to offer an alternative product to address the high quality soft drinks market. ”We do not discuss with nature, we take what it offers us; in this way, every year we collect unique apples, which, depending on the nature, we have sometimes more and sometimes less”.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Apple Reserve aims to encourage Polish consumers to opt for artisanal, local products more often, with understanding of the impact on health, biodiversity and natural resources. To do so, Apple Reserve aims to upscale to new markets, especially Wroclaw and the Lower Silesia region.

Info about the Innovators and the Innovation portraits Catalogue

FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.

To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.

An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.

Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue

The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.

In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:

Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.

Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.

Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.

Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.
