On the forefront of food innovation for people and the planet's health
We serve as a research and innovation network dedicating our expertise to improving the food and nutrition system while promoting environmental preservation and better health outcomes.
We tackle these challenges by coordinating and systematising initiatives from the top Italian universities and research institutions, leveraging the vertical expertise of leading firms in the food and nutrition sectors.
how we work
Fostering collaboration for a more impactful research
We build synergies between research centres and businesses, unlocking greater success and impact for all involved in the network.
OnFoods works as a coordinating hub for seven thematic Spokes, each focused on a specific and crucial aspect of the food system, yet working together to achieve common goals regarding food safety and quality, nutrition, and malnutrition prevention.
our vision
Exploring the intersection between food systems, science and the practice of sustainability
We believe that we can only address the challenges of food and nutrition sustainability through a systemic and interdisciplinary approach.
We work to understand better and act on the complexity of our food systems while improving people's well-being. This means producing scientific research and innovation outputs that impact the extension of lives in good health, reducing avoidable and premature mortality and inequality, and placing people at the centre of a more efficient, safe, sustainable and just social security system.
Six macro objectives
We work towards six main objectives to achieve the goal outlined in our mission of promoting a sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption system.
