MICROBIOMES4SOY Healthier diets and sustainable food and feed systems through employing microbiomes for soya production and further use

Coordinator: AIT AUSTRIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GMBH (AT)

Animal-based proteins constitute a significant ingredient in European food systems. Dependence on animal-based proteins comes with substantial environmental and health impacts. Hence, the transition toward plant protein-based food systems is now more critical than ever. MICROBIOMES4SOY is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral project that employs a Multi-Actor Approach to ensure that food system actors' needs and key components relevant to the FOOD 2030 priorities are addressed. MICROBIOMES4SOY aims to enable transition pathways by delivering a comprehensive understanding of the microbiomes …
