NEW GENOMIC TECHNIQUES, NEW FOOD SYSTEMS
DARWIN is an EU-funded project to foster the transition to a more sustainable and fair food system by co-developing an innovative detection strategy for products obtained through New Genomic Techniques (NGT), as well as digital solutions.
THE CHALLENGE
Scientific and technological barriers in detecting and identifying NGT products complying to European legislation cause ambiguity. Law enforcement authorities and consumers lack of clear and transparent information on NGT products.
THE SOLUTION
DARWIN aspires to create a more sustainable and fair food system by co-developing a new generation of detection methods for plant-based products obtained through new genomic techniques as well as innovative digital solutions.
