Seeking Consortium Participation: Advancing Sustainable Mediterranean Food Systems

The National School of Agriculture (NSA), located in Morocco, a public research institution, has developed extensive research activities to support the implementation of the national program "Green Generation 2030." These activities span various research areas, including improvement of production systems, propagation, biotechnology, protection against diseases and pests, agroecology, agroforestry, horticulture, food science, and microbiology for a variety of high-value crops in Morocco. Additionally, ENAM is equipped with top-notch laboratories for chemical and food analysis, positioning it as a leading institution in agricultural research. Furthermore, ENAM boasts top graduates in agriculture engineering, further solidifying its prominence in research domains. The institution has established collaborations with various stakeholders such as producers, farmer organizations, national agricultural research organizations, universities, and international research and development centers.

Our research team specializes in the valorization of agricultural commodities, including derived by-products. With a strong focus on reducing food waste through innovative methodologies, we are actively seeking to join a consortium to lend our expertise.

We offer comprehensive solutions aimed at tackling the critical issue of food loss and waste. Our primary focus is on utilizing vegetable waste or by-products to create value-added products, particularly novel ingredients for functional products. Furthermore, our capabilities extend to conducting thorough nutritional and sensory quality characterization of the developed products.

By harnessing our expertise, we aim to develop cost-effective and sustainable technologies specifically tailored to Mediterranean food systems, thereby facilitating a transformation towards more sustainable and resilient urban and local food systems.

We are enthusiastic about collaborating with like-minded partners within the consortium to drive impactful change in addressing food loss and waste challenges.

If you believe our expertise aligns with your consortium's objectives, we welcome the opportunity to explore collaboration possibilities further.
