Focused on transforming food production and consumption in Europe towards more sustainable and resilient systems, FutureFoodSbrings together renowned experts, research institutions, companies, and policymakers to develop joint solutions to the complex challenges affecting our food systems, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security.
This co-funded partnership brings together 86 organizations from 29 countries , including national and regional authorities, funding agencies, universities, research institutes, foundations, and competitiveness clusters.
FutureFoodS aims to minimize the environmental footprint of food production, improve consumer health, and ensure the economic viability of the food chain. This program focuses on innovation and knowledge sharing to achieve a resilient and sustainable future for European food systems. The backbone of this effort is the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, which identifies four key areas of research and innovation:
- Changing the way we eat.
- Changing the way we process and supply food.
- Changing the way we connect in food systems.
- Changing the way we govern food systems.
