GreenUPorto – Sustainable Agrifood Research Centre is a recently established Research Unit, rated as Excellent by FCT and being part of the Associate Laboratory ‘Inov4Agro’. Its mission is to contribute to scientific and technological development and knowledge transfer in the field of agronomy, food, and environmental sciences, promoting sustained growth of this sector. This mission is accomplished with research in three main thematic areas: Plant Biology, Production & Post-Harvest; Processing, Valorization, Consumption & Human Nutrition; Environmental Quality and Risk Assessment. GreenUPorto has a set of relevant infrastructures (open-fields, greenhouses, growth chambers) and well-equipped Labs (e.g. molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, food- and soil-and environmental quality). Presently, GreenUPorto joins about 90 researchers and coordinates/participates in several national and European projects (e.g. Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, Mission Soil, Farm to Fork and Infrastructures, Euroatom, ERASMUS+, COST actions). Moreover, it is represented in many national/international organizations, editorial boards of high impact journals and its members have an extensive network of collaborations within the agrifood sector. These evidences are testimony that, during its first 5 years of existence, GreenUPorto was able to consolidate its position as a major player in the national and international scientific landscape.
