Driving the digital transformation of the agri-food sector
We are more than a thousand professionals from multiple nationalities and disciplines, working cross-sectorally across Catalonia and connected to all five continents to tackle the main challenges in food.
The scientific research we carry out aims to address the needs of the Catalan agri-food sector.
At the same time, we work with a planetary perspective: we face challenges of great complexity, such as climate change, digitalisation and global health, which highlight the need to transform food systems.
