Non-exclusive list of prioritized areas:
(Apply for Project Grants for research within Plant Science Agriculture and Food Biotechnology 2025 by Novo Nordisc Foundation)
Development of plants with high productivity, resiliency, and resource-use-efficiency for food, fibre, materials, fuel and energy, chemicals, or climate change mitigation
Utilization of microorganisms to improve sustainability across the value chain from primary agricultural production to end-product
Development of agricultural-, food-, and forestry systems with higher productivity, circularity, and biodiversity, and with minimum impact on environment and climate
Development of sustainable plant-, microorganism-, and fungi-based ingredients and foods with high functionality, and organoleptic quality. The proposed research should primarily focus on the technological aspects of food science and biotechnology, while nutrition and health related aspects may be considered only to a limited extent
Utilization of ingredients derived from precision fermentation, fungi, algae, insects, and cellular agriculture for food production
Development of methods and technologies, including those driven by data science, that enable and support sustainable agriculture and food production. A significant proportion of the proposed research should explore the use of the new method or technology for its intended application
The program will not support:
