Discover the Agrifood Expert Community
Connect Within, Innovate Beyond
The Agrifood Expert Community (AFEC) is a hub where agrifood specialists connect, collaborate, and drive business growth through innovation.
Not just any community...
AFEC is a platform where food R&D specialists connect, share, and tackle challenges in agrifood, from business and innovation to research. Members get to network with peers, discover new trends, and grow their professional circles. The community promotes open dialogue, making it easy for experts to team up on projects and share insights across various topics.
For organisations, AFEC offers access to a select group of agrifood specialists who support business projects, R&D efforts, and other strategic goals. You can book experts to speak at events to add credibility and fresh perspectives to your gatherings, or hire an AFEC expert for a specific need that you have, which aligns with EIT Food’s goals of fostering innovation, boosting sustainability, and enhancing food security.
