The second co-funded call tackles household dietary shifts, trust and transparency, and innovations in circular food processing systems

The FutureFoodS partnership announced the launch of their second co-funded call “Accelerating Food Sustainability – through Household Dietary Shifts, Trust and Transparency, and Innovations in Circular Food Processing Systems”.

This call focuses on three crucial areas essential for achieving food sustainability:
1. Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
Systemic work at the household level covering food safety, cultures, nutritional needs and consumer behaviour.
2. Towards diverse, sustainable and circular food processing systems
Improved processing/packaging, valorisation of by-products and side-streams, and compositions tailored to diverse consumer groups.
3. Importance of trust and transparency
Identify leverage points; assess tools, methods, metrics, indicators and quality signals (e.g. labelling) towards a more unified framework, co-created with system actors.

The deadline for pre proposal submission on the submission platform is 11 February 2026. Further information and documentation is available on the submission platform.
