Topic 2: New foods – Fostering innovations in food design, processing and supply via demand-and-supply reorientation
We are interested in developing functional products from aquatic plants and animal organisms. Our major goal is to improve the nutrition and health of humans and animals with these products. We are open to partnership offers for all three titles. If we receive a partnership call from a consortium, our project proposal will be ready.
