Project FEED proudly participated in the Notte Europea dei Ricercatori - Co.Science event, a flagship initiative under the Horizon Europe program and funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions for 2024-2025. This event, led by esteemed institutions such as the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and the University of Insubria, served as a vital platform to bridge the gap between science and society by fostering dialogue between researchers and the public, with a particular focus on engaging students.
During the event, Project FEED showcased our innovative research on sustainable products derived from sprouts, emphasizing their transformative potential in nutrition and eco-friendly packaging. Represented by Monica Mattana from IBBA-CNR in Milan and Valentina Picchi from CREA Ricerca in Pisa, we highlighted the role of sprout-based innovations in promoting a healthier and more sustainable Mediterranean diet, aligning with global goals for food security and sustainability. Our participation underscored our commitment to advancing food technology and sustainability, offering attendees a glimpse into the future of agrifood systems through the lens of cutting-edge science.
