Our project will accelerate food related solutions on climate crisis. We believe the way we consume and produce food that has a direct impact on our climate.
We will participate to this change with our research center where we will study on local resources as insects, ancients’ greats, pulses as alternatives to reduce meat consumption. Also, we will engage in discussions on the ability to transform local resources in order to reduce greenhouse gas related to the transport of foods. We will act as a food leader on climatic change.
