We want to promote knowledge and solutions that support the green transition in society
Farming methods strain the Earth’s ecosystems
We must become better at understanding the interaction between agriculture and nature so that we can optimise the use of agricultural land while protecting biodiversity.
The world is heading towards a global temperature rise of 2.7°C
The quantity of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere must be greatly reduced to curb global warming.
We need novel and better foods to feed a growing world population
In 2050, we will need to produce 60% more food than we do today. Feeding the global population requires changing our food production and our diets.
