Making food systems more resilient to food safety risks through the deployment of technological solutions
Funds R&D that turns existing food-safety science — molecular methods, genomics, photonics — into deployable tools against food fraud and safety risks.
Making food systems more resilient to food safety risks through the deployment of technological solutions is a Horizon Europe two-stage Innovation Action from the European Commission that funds R&D turning existing food-safety science — molecular methods, genomics, photonics — into deployable tools against food fraud and safety risks. A short first-stage proposal is assessed before a fuller second…
The Commission wants projects that take existing food-safety and anti-fraud research — including molecular methods, genomic strategies, photonics and biotechnology — and push it to market-ready technology readiness levels. It wants proposals to build on, not duplicate, past EU-funded food-safety projects and connect with clean-technology efforts to cut the food industry's carbon footprint.
