🎬 STREAMING project set off

Beginning of March marked setting off the STREAMING project (full project title: Sustainable Trade Regimes with Europe and Africa through Mapping Innovation, New-Technology and Growth-Mindset). The introduction meeting in 🇩🇪 hosted by Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf brought together a multidisciplinary team of 15 institutions from 12 countries in Africa and Europe that will be collaborating over next 40 months to make significant contribution to achieving fair, healthy, and environmentally sustainable food systems in Europe and Africa.

The STREAMING is important for food systems, farmers and consumers in Europe and Africa because it will contributes to:

✅sustainable farming systems that i) provide consumers with affordable, safe, healthy and sustainable food, ii) increase the provision of ecosystem services, iii) restore and strengthen biodiversity, iv) minimise pollution and pressure on ecosystems and greenhouse gas emissions, v) foster plant, animal and public health, vi) improve animal welfare, and vii) generate fair economic returns for farmers, and
✅accelerates the transition to sustainable, healthy and inclusive food systems, delivering co-benefits for climate change mitigation and adaptation, environmental sustainability and circularity, sustainable healthy diets and nutrition, food poverty reduction, empowered citizens and communities, and flourishing food businesses, while ensuring food safety and the economic sustainability of EU food systems during the transition.

Alongside these contributions, the STEAMING promotes innovation and entrepreneurship among women, researchers, students, and farmers. It informs trade policies in Africa and Europe on removing non-tariff barriers to trade and enhancing resilience against external challenges such as climate change.

The STREAMING project is funded by the EU within HORIZON program with the budget of 4.43M EUR. Out of this amount 875,000 EUR will be disbursed to third parties across Europe and Africa for innovative projects.
