AgriFoodTure and Roadmap Food, Health & Living Environment (Netherlands) are pleased to launch a bilateral call to support collaborative research and innovation projects between Danish and Dutch partners.
This bilateral call invites consortia with partners from both countries to work together on advancing plant-rich diets to achieve sustainability, public health, and climate objectives. By leveraging complementary expertise and strengths in Denmark and the Netherlands, the call aims to accelerate transformative solutions in the agri-food system.
All project proposals must include both Danish and Dutch partners. Each funding agency will finance its respective national partners, adhering to their guidelines and funding regulations.
Thematic Focus
Projects must contribute to one or both of the following themes:
The transition to plant-rich diets is a key driver for reducing the environmental footprint of food production.
AgriFoodTure and Roadmap Food, Health & Living Environment aim to catalyse this shift by supporting projects that conduct research to understand consumer barriers and motivations, develop strategies to foster behavior change, and create sustainable and healthy food environments, invest in R&D to improve taste, texture and the nutritional profile of plant-rich products and their effects on human health.
Enhanced consumer acceptance will drive market demand for plant-rich alternatives, further accelerating the transition to a more sustainable and resilient agri-food system.
This call emphasizes the urgent need to bridge the innovation gap in the health and nutrition aspects of plant-rich foods for fostering widespread consumer adoption and prevent diet-related diseases. By improving the nutritional quality of plant-rich products, healthier and more sustainable diets can be promoted. This will help shift global consumer behavior.
