HORIZON-EIC-2024-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-03 call, Nature-inspired Alternatives for Food Packaging and Films for Agriculture, supports ambitious interdisciplinary research that will lead to the development and production of sustainable nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and agricultural production such as, but not limited to, greenhouse and mulch films. These materials must have a reduced environmental impact, through design and production, while delivering the functional characteristics of plastics.

The 6 Projects selected out of 105 proposals submitted for funding under the Challenge, Nature-inspired Alternatives for Food Packaging and Films for Agriculture will work together to develop specific portfolio objectives and activities, incorporated in the strategic plans for each EIC Challenge.
