The ETH Sustainable Food Processing Group uses a combination of innovative sustainability assessment and emerging food system approaches to target fundamental challenges in food science and society, such as the protein transition and food security.

The project aims to further develop and apply sustainability assessment methods to support transformations in future global food systems. By integrating future projections, it will identify improvement potentials in key value chains across diverse geographical contexts. The work will adopt an interdisciplinary approach through close collaboration with other research groups.
