“We act as a center of expertise for the sector with the aim to raise awareness and inform policy makers, stakeholders, media and the general public about the important role of fermentation and related processes in contributing to the economic, environmental and social aims of the EU and its global competitiveness. The founding companies are united in their pursuit to improve the current unsustainable food systems and are committed to mobilize a broad societal range of supporters to further what drives us: The firm belief that we have no time to waste to take courageous political action.”
