£16 million to support novel low-emission food production systems

Innovate UK and BBSRC announce new £16 million competition to drive forward novel, resource efficient, low-emission food production systems.

This new competition will support the development of novel food production systems that create new sources of resource efficient, low-emission foods, particularly proteins to deliver healthy and sustainable diets.

They welcome proposals that have the potential to significantly shift the current state of the art in at least 1 or more of the following 6 priority areas:

• novel plant based products or production systems
• acellular food production
• cellular food production
• novel aquaculture systems
• new food production systems
• total controlled environment agriculture systems

This exciting new competition opens for applications on 18 January 2023.
