Initiatives
Join us in shaping the future of resilient agriculture in Europe. By participating in EIT Food initiatives, you become part of a collaborative ecosystem that drives innovation, builds partnerships, and delivers practical solutions with measurable impact. Whether you are an NGO, a company, or a startup, these initiatives allow you to engage directly with stakeholders, gain insights from real-world projects, and contribute to scalable solutions for sustainable and regenerative farming.
Landscapes
EIT Food Landscapes are regional innovation ecosystems that connect stakeholders across the food system to collaborate on sustainability, entrepreneurship, and skills development. They act as local hubs that bring together industry, academia, startups, and public actors to accelerate the transformation toward more resilient and sustainable food systems.
Test Farms
Test Farms connects innovative agritech startups with farmers to test and validate new solutions in real-world agricultural conditions. It helps accelerate the adoption of practical innovations while reducing risks for both entrepreneurs and farmers.
Regenerative Innovation Portfolio
Together with Foodvalley NL and the Food Innovation Hub Europe, it developed the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio to support implementation at scale.
Tech4RegenAg
Tech4RegenAg accelerates the adoption of regenerative agriculture by combining data-driven insights, pilots, education and innovation contributing to building a resilient, sustainable and scalable European agricultural ecosystem.
Think & Do Tank
To further enable collaboration, EIT Food launched the Think & Do Tank in September 2025 — a pre-competitive platform bringing together over 20 agrifood organisations to identify needs, inform policy, and co-create projects for resilient agriculture.
HUBs
EIT Food also selected partners to create the HUBs, which are our ‘contact points’ in EIT RIS countries. They play a central role in their national innovation ecosystems, with extensive regional networks and experience in supporting entrepreneurs and hosting local initiatives.
Lilas4Soils
Lilas4Soils accelerates the transition to regenerative agriculture through the use of soil data and digital monitoring. By integrating information on soil health, biodiversity, and resource use, the initiative helps farmers and stakeholders to make more sustainable decisions, reduce operational risks, and increase the resilience of their production systems.
