EU Food Biofutures

The most powerful consortium of leading actors to make Europe a food biotech leader

2024

Overview

The EU Food Biofuture programme aims to make Europe a leader in deep food biotechnology, a field that could transform up to 40% of food production by 2040 through innovations like mycology, precision fermentation, and cellular agriculture. These technologies offer more sustainable, healthier, and affordable solutions, enhancing the resilience of the EU food system.

However, biotech innovation in Europe faces challenges—complex regulations, high costs, and limited funding. While other regions like the USA and China have invested heavily, Europe lags behind. Startups also struggle with a lack of talent, access to labs, and inadequate support programmes.

This programme brings together EU food biotech actors to tackle these issues. Through collaboration, the partnership will develop strategic recommendations in key areas like education, policy, funding, and infrastructure, driving innovation and helping secure Europe's leadership in the future of food.
