Alternative sources for high added value food and/or feed ingredients

Detailed Call Description

Project results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes, depending on the choice between focus on food or/and feed ingredients:

  • Availability of premium (i.e., nutritious, healthy, functional and environmentally sustainable) food ingredients meeting consumers’ expectations, including on economic level.
  • Availability of high added value sustainable feed ingredients, ensuring nutritional quality and health and safety profile.
  • Rebalanced ratio between animal and plant-based proteins in human consumption, needed for healthy food supply respecting the planetary boundaries.
  • Contribution to the sustainable food supply for a growing world population (SDG 2 Zero hunger).
  • Increased circularity of biomass resources, and resource efficiency, as confirmed by the LCA assessments, leading to improved EU strategic autonomy via reduction/replacement of imports.
  • Public awareness and acceptance of bio-based solutions.
  • Support market uptake growth and acceptance of scalable bio-based solutions.

Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan

It is estimated that a contribution of EUR 14 million would allow these outcomes to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of a proposal requesting different amounts.
