FutureFoodS Partnership starts its activites
The inaugural meeting of the FutureFoodS Partnership, a co-funded partnership on Food Systems under Horizon Europe, was held in Dijon on 19 June 2024. The partnership brings together 84 partners from 29 countries. The Partnership is expected to mobilise EUR 175 million in European Union contributions, with a total indicative budget of EUR 525 million over the next 7 to 10 years.
The mission of FutureFoodS is to accelerate the transformation of national, EU, and global food systems, ensuring they are safe, sustainable, healthy, resilient, and trusted by all, while respecting planetary boundaries. This initiative aligns with the European Green Deal objective to create fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems, from primary production to consumption.
The Partnership has outlined several planned actions, including:
- open calls for research and innovation, with the first call expected to be launched by the end of 2024.
- Living Labs
- a new European food system observatory
- multiple knowledge-sharing events.
