Sustain-a-bite
European diets are currently nutritionally imbalanced, characterized with high consumption of animal proteins and low intake of dietary fiber. Moreover, many existing plant-based foods depend on highly refined ingredients, which include additives and offer minimal nutritional value. The Sustain-a-bite project addresses these challenges in today’s food systems by promoting healthier diets and reducing environmental impacts.
Aims of the project:
Sustain-a-bite aims to overcome these issues through innovative, sustainable, and minimal processing methods by creating nutritious, tasty, and affordable plant-based foods. This initiative aligns with the European Union’s Green Deal, specifically the Farm2Fork Strategy.
By collaborating with different stakeholders across the food value chain including producers, manufacturers, retailers, researchers, authorities, and consumers. The project fosters innovation, drives market adoption, supports inclusive local food systems, and promotes healthier lifestyles for a sustainable future.
Sustain-a-bite is a Horizon Europe-funded RIA project (HORIZON-CL6-2024-FARM2FORK-01-2) running from October 2024 to March 2028, focused on developing healthy, sustainable food products and processes.
