Boosting the competitiveness of protein crops in Europe

Funds innovation projects that make European-grown protein crops more competitive, from farm-level breeding and machinery to new value chains and by-product uses.

This is a single-stage Innovation Action with an indicative 2026 budget of EUR 12,000,000, expected to fund two projects worth EUR 6,000,000 each. Beneficiaries may pass financial support to third parties to bring in SMEs and startups for testing and demonstration, and proposals are expected to reach technology readiness level 6-8.
