The EU Circular Economy Action Plan, the EU Zero Pollution Action Plan, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy Action Plan, EU Soil, EU Biodiversity, EU Forests, and EU Farm-to-Fork strategies are some of the EU policies and strategies that these EU-funded projects will also support through their innovative and sustainable solutions.

The projects, funded through a Horizon Europe 2023 call, will:

  1. Reduce environmental degradation
  2. Halt and reverse the decline of biodiversity
  3. Better manage natural resources
  4. Ensure food and water security

The projects have signed their Grant Agreements with the European Commission. Some of them have already begun their research while some will commence shortly.
