Descrizione del progetto
Migliorare l’efficienza del sistema alimentare
Per ridurre i danni agli ecosistemi e alla biodiversità naturale, mantenendo al tempo stesso gli standard di produzione alimentare, sono necessarie soluzioni innovative al fine di trovare un equilibrio. Il progetto TRIBIOME, finanziato dall’UE, lavorerà per raggiungere questo obiettivo ricercando e migliorando i dati sui microbiomi umano, del suolo, degli animali e delle piante, nonché sulla loro interconnessione. A partire da questi dati, il progetto sarà in grado di creare soluzioni per ridurre il fabbisogno di risorse e l’impatto ambientale dell’industria alimentare, adottando catene alimentari più sane basate sulle piante e potenziando la circolarità. Per migliorare la loro efficienza, verrà creato un quadro di approccio multi-parte che coinvolgerà vari interlocutori, responsabili politici, investitori e cittadini.
Obiettivo
TRIBIOME's vision is to develop and implement a systemic solution to transform current food production systems. To this end, TRIBIOME aims to advance alignment with the Green Deal and Farm2fork strategies, by deepening the knowledge of soil/plant/animal and human microbiomes, as well as their interrelationships and interconnections, so that they can play a leading role in the resilience of food production systems in the near future. TRIBIOME will face the main challenges such as the need to minimize resources, reduce the environmental impact and promote healthy and plant-based food chain while feeding a constantly growing world population under the paradigm of climate change.
This project aims to drive this concept from its base, establishing its central nucleus in current agricultural production systems based on the relevancy of the soil and plant microbiome, in order to produce more with less, through knowledge of microbial biodiversity and its interaction with the plant, developing novel technologies to influence its modulation (i.e. those enhancing plant growth, nutrient use efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and better nutritional and health quality of food products) in such a way as to generate an upgrade quality food and have a positive influence on the microbiomes of both animals and humans.
To this end, we will work cooperatively in a multiactor approach framework with all actors in the food production systems chain, from farmers to consumers, industry, investors and policy makers, in order to develop systemic solutions that guarantee their implementation and solve the real problems and needs of society.
