About SUSFOOD

 

The SUSFOOD2 ERA-Net was build on and accelerated the work of the SCAR Collaborative Working Group that was launched in Denmark in 2010.

A first network SUSFOOD was initiated under Framework program 7 and ran from 2011 until 2014.

This predecessor of the current network SUSFOOD2 under Horizon 2020, had some major achievement, such as 2 research call, one in 2013 and one in 2014, funding in total 15 projects, a strategic research agenda (SRA) and a metaknowledge base which generated the SUSFOOD Country report.

After this successful edition, 26 partners applied for a H2020 SUSFOOD2 Cofunded which was granted and started in 2017.

A first action of this Cofund was a 3rd call in which 12 research projects were funded.

HOW WE DO

SUSFOOD2 covers the entire food supply chain with the main focus on food chain sustainability beyond the farm gate. Also the farm level will be considered if it has direct impact on the sustainability of the other steps in the food chain.
