CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-05: Downstream value chains for legumes and protein crops: engaging food processors
European Project Manager at Vitagora
Dijon, France
About
About us : Vitagora is a French agrifood competitiveness cluster based in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, with around 650 members: food companies, startups, research laboratories and technical centres. Vitagora also coordinates FoodTech France, the national food innovation network, and is a partner of EIT Food.
Plant proteins are one of our strategic priorities. Our region combines a strong production of cereals, legumes and protein crops with an active food processing industry, and aims to reduce dependence on imported protein. It also hosts research expertise on new protein sources, notably at the UMR PAM (Institut Agro Dijon and Université Bourgogne Europe).
What we offer to a consortium :
-
Mobilise food processors, SMEs and startups as downstream outlets for diversified crops
-
Co-design cooperation and business models between farmers and processors, including the valorisation of crop by-products.
-
Support the design and promotion of open calls for SMEs (financial support to third parties)
-
Lead dissemination and exploitation towards the food industry through the Vitagora and FoodTech France networks
What we are looking for :
A coordinator or consortium working on crop diversification, with agronomic and farming partners, who needs a partner to organise the downstream food value chain.
