Welcome to the 2nd mini symposium organized by the Food Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) at the University of Fribourg, exploring the latest research, ideas and solutions related to Sustainable Agriculture. This conference is a unique opportunity to connect with leading plant and soil scientists, AgriTech representatives, members of farmers associations, students and group leaders of the University of Fribourg. We aim to bring together a wide range of research from Switzerland and Germany, with ample networking prospects.

The Innovation Booster Future Food Farming powered by Innosuisse invites you to network and create transformative solutions together. By understanding current conflicting goals, stakeholders from farms to citizens, from research to application, develop projects that contribute to solving problems and changing the status quo. Project funding of CHF 39,000 can be obtained after participation in the workshop, incubation sessions and considering the guidelines & conditions of participation. Together we want to identify barriers to a deeper connection with the soil regarding farming, growing and consuming produce? Especially concerning soil health and fertility. We will gladly accommodate language preferences during the workshop.

Verarbeitete Lebensmittel sind aus der heutigen Ernährung nicht mehr wegzudenken und sie werden auch zukünftig unsere Essgewohnheiten prägen. Expert:innen aus Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft bieten Einblicke in die Merkmale (hoch) verarbeiteter Lebensmittel, erläutern, welche Faktoren ein Produkt gesund oder weniger gesund machen, und beleuchten die Verbindung dieser Kategorie von Lebensmitteln zu nachhaltigem Konsum und Innovation. Gleichzeitig kann der von Swiss Food Research organisierte «Future Food Market» besucht werden und die köstliche Welt innovativer Lebensmittel von Start-Ups und Produzenten aus dem Kanton Zürich entdeckt werden. Lassen Sie sich die Zukunft unserer Ernährung schmecken!
