Website's Project

ONFOODS combines public and private excellence in the research on new sustainable, safe and healthy food models.

Its main objective is to implement research activities capable of developing and validating strategies in order to prevent waste, increase the sustainability and circularity of supply chains and, at the same time, improve the quality of the consumer's diet and nutrition. This is in line with the very mission of the Extended Partnerships, which aim to create basic research projects to strengthen research supply chains at national level and promote their participation in strategic European and global value chains.

SPOKE 1 - "Global sustainability" aims to improve the efficiency of food value chains by combining productivity and sustainability, promoting technology transfer, and providing access to sustainable food for the most vulnerable members of society.

Its slogan "Fair food market for healthy citizens" reflects the goal of impacting the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of food systems through strategies that respect consumers' choices, prioritize food quality and seasonality, and promote socioeconomic fairness to reduce inequality.

The objectives are:
- To promote the sustainability of food production
- To increase the adherence to more sustainable dietary patterns
- To increase the quality of foods and diets
