About

 

DIVERSIFOOD is an international project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme. By integrating existing networks across Europe, the project will strengthen the “food culture” to achieve local high quality food systems.

Thanks to the composition of its consortium, DIVERSIFOOD will cover the whole food chain: from genetic resources to marketing, connecting all the different actors involved.
