Hello joe,
 

Building a net zero food system requires change across the board.  
 

From biodegradable packaging to plant-based protein, this month’s issue explores the exciting developments happening across the EIT Food ecosystem.

We’re also excited to introduce our Resilient Agriculture Think & Do Tank, which is bringing together diverse expertise to help Europe future-proof its food system.
