HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-11: Integrating a holistic perspective in microbiome research for resilient, competitive and sustainable food systems

Integral microbiome solutions for more resilient and sustainable food systems

•Metabolomic studies of fermented food matrices, to identify and select promising signatures associated with health benefits, which could define novel biosensors (e.g., project Synthbiomics)

•In vitro and in vivo validation of new ingredients and/or metabolites, to determine their pro/postbiotic effect and overall health effects (e.g.,project Parabiotics)

•Functional food studies, to define the contribution of food and gut microbiome composition to the gut-brain axis (modulation of neurotransmitters, effect on neural disorders, etc.) to define personalised nutrition strategies (e.g., project microBiomics)

•Generation of integrated omics data in collaborative projects like TecnomiFood
