Biological tools for adding and defending value in key agro-food chains

The objectives of the operation are to:
- Develop a science base for the defense of key agro-food product lines relevant to the Norte region based on the RIS3 document and employing modern biological approaches.
- Ensure that knowledge and technologies are both exploited via IP protection and where appropriate made available to end users in the region.
- To give employment opportunities to 5 PhD researchers and expose them to a relevant and high-level research environment.
- Further develop the units collective capacity to act in the area of modern bioscience.

Bio-n2-value will develop and apply modern biological tools to address important issues affecting the value of key agro-food product lines (wine, meats, and olive oil) of the Norte region. It will do this by executing research in 3 work packages that will employ a collective resource that itself represents a separate work package. The project has a single research line, is one beneficiary. It will contract 5 PhDs for the period of the project.
