FutureEUAqua

(Future growth in sustainable, resilient and climate friendly organic and conventional European aquaculture)

The overall objective of FutureEUAqua is to effectively promote sustainable growth of resilient to climate changes, environmentally friendly organic and conventional aquaculture of major fish species and low trophic level organisms in Europe, to meet future challenges with respect to the growing consumer demand for high quality, nutritious and responsibly produced food.

FutureEUAqua follows the whole value chain from egg to fork including

• genetic selection of certain species (primary focus is on salmon, seabass, seabream and rainbow trout),

• the development of innovative ingredients and feeds,

• the application of non-invasive monitoring technologies to look at the impact of housing environments and innovative diets on fish health and welfare,

• the development of innovative fish products and packaging methods,

• the development of optimal production systems.

The project operates a Stakeholder Platform in order to create a common platform for the experts of the area to discuss the latest developments of sustainable aquaculture.

GLOPACK

The GLOPACK (Granting society with LOw environmental impact innovative PACKaging) project is investigating food packaging with no environmental footprint and the ability to extend the shelf life of food products.

The project is focusing on three food packaging areas:

• biodegradable materials made from agro-food residues

• active packaging to improve food preservation and shelf life without additives

• RFID enabled wireless food spoilage indicators linked to food date labels

As part of the GLOPACK concept a decision-supporting tool will be developed to help designing and communicating eco-innovative packaging alternatives to all end-users.

GLOPACK project also has a Stakeholders’ Platform where the members

• have early access the GLOPACK results,

• can meet other stakeholders,

• can connect to people in their own field of work,

• can discuss the issues related to sustainable and biodegradable food packaging with peers,

• can explain their needs for new packaging solutions and the pre-requisites of their practical applications in your work.

The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 773375.

Circular based alternative protein extraction from grape seeds (PROSEED)

Aim of the project::

PROSEED aims at valorising wine industry side-stream as grape seeds to obtain alternative protein for food& beverages industry.

PROSEED goal is to test and bring to the market one circular-based environmentally friendly and economically sustainable new protein product.

Grape seed protein can be used as fining agent of additive in several application to replace raw material currently used such as gelatine of animal origin characterized by a large environmental footprint or protein extracts from food crops like pea or potato characterized by ethic conflicts with food production and by allergen limits related to the gluten content.

Grape seed’s protein can broadly increase the alternative protein demand in the European Community considering the acute feed protein deficit in EU.
Nowadays, Europe suffers a 70% deficit in crude protein and imports annually around 15 million tons of crude protein from South and North Americas.
Campden BRI Hungary will set up and organize co-creation workshops with the potential users and consumers.

SMAF – Smart Agriculture Farming

The project that can help the farmers to adapt the digital solutions in the agriculture and food sector.

The implementation period of the Project: 2023

Purpose of the project:

The modern agriculture and food industry have to face lots of challenges nowadays, such as: growing and widening demand, environmental exposure caused by the climate change, compliance for the law of environmental protection, creating an attractive and profitable sectoral vision, to produce healthy and safety food, etc..

Nowadays in Hungary generation change is going on in the agriculture sector what gives us the chance to make digitalisation as a basic element of the producing. We believe that the digitalisation is the only available way to give answers and efficient solutions to the challenges that the agriculture and food sector is facing day by day. Digitalisation is playing an increasingly important role in agriculture which helps to spread the data-driven smart solutions. Through these technical innovations the farmers have reliable and precise forecast data and data about their production that can help to reduce and optimize costs and risks, to enlarge incomes and to ensure and produce safe and healthy food overall.

The SMAF project aims to give information in a wide range about the useful and available digital solutions which can be an answer to the different challenges that facing the agriculture and food industry not just technically but as an organization management problem as well. These solutions can be decisive in the life of a company to reach higher yields and profit, sustainable goals. We believe that it has spill over effect not only on a company, but on national economy sectors as well.

The SMAF project could be created by the co-funding of the EIT Food.

Through SMAF project there is an opportunity for the audience to get useful and exact knowledge and information that can help them to develop important skills such as: entrepreneurship, problem solving, communication and leadership and can help in critical thinking and analysing as well.

Campden BRI Hungary Nonprofit Ltd. as an EIT Food Partner and as the Hungarian EIT Food Hub plays an outlined role to communicate the aims of the EIT Food. Through the SMAF project there are several events and conferences where the participants are able to get all the important information and knowledge about the agricultural digitalisation. The SMAF project provides to keep in touch with the stakeholders, to stay up to date on the needs of the food chain actors, to communicate the innovations and to create an efficient communication platform between the parties.

Detailed information about the events organized as a part of the SMAF project are under the „News” button.

PrO4Bake

Optimization of bakery processes by a computational tool together with consumer feedback to minimize ecological footprint and food waste

This project aims to optimize processes in the baking industry with computer models to minimize food waste, energy consumption and CO2 emission. The proposed solution reduces energy and raw material consumption by optimizing the various production steps, and also improves production planning by forecasting demand.

By doing so, food waste, energy consumption and production costs can be reduced, thereby supporting small and medium-sized enterprises of the European bakery industry.

Experts in bakery technology, computer technology and food production will develop a tool by assessing consumer needs and analyzing production data to improve the competitiveness of modern and traditional European bakeries in the digital age.

NOAW: No Agricultural-Waste:

Innovative approaches to turn agricultural waste into ecological and economic assets

About NoAW:

NoAW is a European Horizon 2020 research and development project, running from 2016 to 2020, which aims to contribute to a “zero-waste economy” – an increasingly crucial issue in today’s society.

The international NoAW team aims to develop models of circular economy in which the valorisation of agricultural wastes, with special focus on wine biomass, straw and manure, are optimized on a territorial and seasonal scale. Through this approach the resources are kept in use for as long as possible to extract the maximum value from them.

The NoAW project will bring about solutions for policy makers and enterprises to transform todays agro-waste to tomorrow’s additional value:

• Create sustainable agro-waste bio-refinery concepts,
• Use integrative approaches, where special consideration is given to environmental impacts of the product and process even in design phase,
• Provide innovative and robust tools for the development of waste-resource recovery strategies and minimizing the negative impacts on water, air, soil.

NoAW explores the potential of agro-waste to be converted into a portfolio of eco-efficient products which are produced using fewer resources and creating less pollution. The main focus is on bio-energy, bio-fertilizers, bio-packaging and bio-molecules.

NoAW also considers environmental and human safety risks which can emerge from circular management of agro-wastes.

Financed by: The project has received funding from the European Union´s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the grant agreement No 688338
