Sustainability and Circular Economy for Food Technology B2B

The circular economy is an economic paradigm that aims to be regenerative, which has the ambition of reconnecting man to the ecosystem balance, starting from reconstructing that ecological system that supports life on Earth and that man is compromising with incredible voracity. 

The current geopolitical challenge of the "food system" is to revolutionize the production model starting from a correct management of the natural capital to which the cultural and economic capital is associated, respecting planetary limits and at the same time offering an equal space to civil society.

TARGET

During Terra Madre Salone del Gusto exhibition, Enterprise Europe Network, the world largest network for business support, will connect agriculture, food and drink producers with technology providers (namely companies, universities and R&D institutes) in order to enhance partnerships on sustainability and circular economy. 

The B2B will also aim at enhancing partnerships for the "Green Deal Call - Action 6 Farm to Fork", a one hour webinar will be organised through this platform on the 9th of October.

GREEN DEAL CALL

Green Deal call will mobilise research and innovation to foster a just and sustainable societal transition aiming at ‘leaving nobody behind’.

Projects are expected to deliver tangible and visible results relatively quickly and show how research and innovation can provide concrete solutions for the Green Deal main priorities.

This is why the call will support

• pilot applications, demonstration projects and innovative products
• innovation for better governance of the green and digital transition 
• social and value chain innovation

In relation to the current pandemic, the call will contribute to the green and digital recovery and to increasing societal resilience for example in agriculture, biodiversity acceleration of renewables, clean transport and modernisation towards a clean and circular industry.
