The aim of Biotech4Food is to support the creation of new circular agri-food value chains, as well as sustainable inter-regional industrial investments for SMEs at the crossroads between biotechnologies and the agri-food industry.
Biotech4food will enable companies to invest in innovation, with the aim of improving food production processes by making them more sustainable, developing new biobased ingredients for better nutrition, moving towards a circular agri-food industry, and making intelligent use of secondary flows, by-products and waste.
