Ferments of the Future Grand Challenge
France 2030 framework
Description
The GDFF program is part of the France 2030 national “sustainable and healthy food” acceleration strategy . It is a public-private consortium, composed of 30 partners, and bringing together public institutions and industrial partners in the field of ferments and fermented foods.
The objective of GDFF is to accelerate research and innovation in this field by focusing on 3 strategic axes:
- Axis 1: food microbiota/food matrix interactions;
- Axis 2: food microbiota / host microbiota interactions;
- Axis 3: innovative fermentation processes;
and a transversal axis :
- Axis 4: data science and artificial intelligence.
