Joint Call Announcement: “Towards Sustainable and Organic Food Systems”
The ERA-NETs SUSFOOD2 and CORE Organic Cofund launch a Joint Call for transnational research within the area of sustainable food systems.
Closing date 4 November
This joint call was initiated under the premise that attaining secure food and nutrition supply in the future will require a transition from current linear food production, to sustainable, cyclical oriented systems (on land and sea) that also respond to consumers demand for a diverse, healthy, safe and attractive diet. The two ERA-NETs have built a network with 22 funding bodies from 18 countries/regions that are committing 10.585.000 € for the call.
The proposals must create an added value for sustainable and organic food systems in line with the objectives of both ERA-NETs. The applicants are encouraged to follow multi-actor, multi-disciplinary and system approach in context of the call topics:
Topic 1: Resource-efficient, circular and zero-waste food systems
Topic 2: Diversity in food from field to plate
Topic 3: Mild food processing
Topic 4: Sustainable and smart packaging
The call will be implemented using an online submission tool. It consists of a platform, where applicants can find all information necessary for the preparation and submission of proposals. In addition, a partnering tool is attached to the submission platform, where project partnerships can be offered or searched for.
The submission tool is available following this link: www.submission-susfood-era.net/sf-co-jointcall
