Healthy Nutrition and Sustainable Food Production
Contract period
:
- 2018
Total budget
: 10480000 Euro
The main goals of the National Research Programme 'Healthy Nutrition and Sustainable Food Production' (NRP 69) are to provide a practical base of knowledge about how healthy eating can be promoted in Switzerland, how enough high quality and safe food can be made available at affordable prices and with an optimal resource management and environmental impact. The conclusions of this NRP will thus contribute to current and up-coming changes in preventive strategies in agricultural and food sectors.
The NRP 69 will operate as a cooperation between the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Commission for Technology and Innovation (KTI-CTI). It disposes of an overall funding of CHF 13 million for two research phases encompassing a total duration of 5 years.
Additionally, a maximum of CHF 4 million, to be shared between NRP 68 'Sustainable Use of Soil Resources' and NRP 69, will be available for projects participating in the European Joint Programming Initiatives (JPI) such as 'A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life'.
