The SUSFOOD ERA-Nets

The SUSFOOD ERA-Net was build on and accelerated the work of the SCAR Collaborative Working Group that was launched in Denmark in 2010.

The purpose of the first SUSFOOD was to share information, coordinate activities and work towards a common research agenda and mutual research funding activities in the field of sustainable food production and consumption.

SUSFOOD Objectives

The strategic goal of SUSFOOD2 complements the EU bioeconomy and food policies, and aims to reinforce cooperation in research, development and innovation between EU members and associated States in order to maximize the contribution of research to the development of more sustainable food systems from production to consumption.

SUSFOOD 2 partners

The SUSFOOD2 ERA-Net Cofund starts in January 2017 with 26 partners from 15 EU member states or 3rd countries which decided to join the SUSFOOD2 consortium, and is coordinated by PTJ Juelich, Germany (Nikola Schultz - contact)
