In 2020, the EU introduced the Farm to Fork Strategy as part of the European Green Deal to ensure food security, sustainable agriculture, and improved nutrition. This strategy aims to make the EU’s food system sustainable by addressing the entire value chain from production to consumption. The key objectives include increasing production, reducing food waste, promoting healthy diets, ensuring fair and resilient food supply chains with fair incomes for farmers, and aligning agriculture with EU climate goals. To support these objectives, the EU provides funding for agriculture and food research through programs like Horizon Europe.
If you are interested in food-related research funding opportunities, here is a list of some current grants available in the EU, UK, Africa, Singapore, Israel, and the US:
1. The FutureFoodS Partnership, a program funded by Horizon Europe, has recently launched an open call for research proposals aimed at addressing various aspects of the food system. This is a great opportunity for researchers looking to make a positive impact on food security and sustainability.
