The food system is facing great challenges in feeding a growing population with sustainable, safe and healthy food with trust and fairness. Universities have a responsibility to work in partnership with government, industry, and society to tackle and provide solutions for our food system. Thus, QUB partnered with EIT Food, a large pan-European competency centre funded by Horizon Europe and bringing together over 100 of Europe’s leading agrifood companies, research institutes, universities and startups to guide and accelerate the innovation process that will transform the food system. In partnership with EIT Food, QUB delivered innovation, education, business creation and strategic programmes.EIT Food Roadmaps: QUB co-designed and published two roadmaps with academic and industry partners for A Net Zero Food System; and a Fully Transparent, Resilient and Fair Food System which identified and responded to the areas of greatest need and where EIT Food can have significant and distinctive impact. These reports stretched beyond the boundaries of what EIT Food could do on their own and were published as a public call to action.Education Programmes: QUB co-designed and delivered four courses to attract, develop and empower the food sector and its future talents and leaders. This included two advanced innovation and entrepreneurship training programmes to inspire participants to be at the forefront of innovation, and provide training for entrepreneurs on their startup journey; and two professional development courses: The AgTech Farmer’s Academy to educate and empower a new generation of farmers to adopt digital technologies that drive a resilient, sustainable and profitable food system; and a 2-day course on the Rapid detection of chemical contaminants in food.Innovation Programmes: The Carbon Neutral project was delivered with six-partners to accelerate the journey to net zero agriculture production. It achieved this by identifying the greatest sources of greenhouse gases from livestock farming, using cutting edge technology to measure methane and demonstrate mitigation options and supporting farmers to lower their missions.Business Creation Programmes: QUB delivered EIT Food’s Seedbed Incubator, a 6-month market discovery programme to support innovative and impactful entrepreneurs and startups to transform their disruptive technologies into market validate propositions.EIT HEI Initiative: The EntreUnity project, led by QUB, built a network of entrepreneurial universities who reflect on societal challenges and provide scalable platforms for affecting transformative change, moving HEI’s away from the narrow research commercialisation perspective and opening up opportunities for local contextualised roles in the regional innovation ecosystem.

粮食系统面临着如何以信任和公平的方式为不断增长的人口提供可持续、安全和健康的食品的巨大挑战。大学有责任与政府、行业和社会合作，为我们的食品系统解决问题并提供解决方案。因此，QUB 与 EIT Food 合作，EIT Food 是由 Horizo​​n Europe 资助的大型泛欧能力中心，汇集了 100 多家欧洲领先的农业食品公司、研究机构、大学和初创公司，以指导和加速将改变食品系统的创新过程。 QUB 与 EIT Food 合作，提供创新、教育、业务创造和战略计划。EIT Food 路线图：QUB 与学术和行业合作伙伴共同设计并发布了两份关于净零食品系统的路线图；完全透明、有弹性和公平的食品系统，该系统确定并响应最需要的领域以及 EIT 食品可以产生重大和独特影响的领域。这些报告超出了 EIT Food 自身所能做的范围，并作为公众行动呼吁而发布。 教育计划：QUB 共同设计并提供了四门课程，以吸引、培养和增强食品行业及其未来人才和领导者的能力。其中包括两个先进的创新创业培训项目，激励参与者走在创新的最前沿，为创业者的创业之旅提供培训；以及两门专业发展课程：农业科技农民学院，旨在教育和授权新一代农民采用数字技术，推动弹性、可持续和盈利的粮食系统；以及为期 2 天的食品中化学污染物快速检测课程。 创新计划：碳中和项目由六个合作伙​​伴共同实施，以加速实现净零农业生产的进程。它通过确定畜牧业温室气体的最大来源、使用尖端技术测量甲烷并展示缓解方案以及支持农民降低使命来实现这一目标。商业创建计划：QUB 提供了 EIT Food 的苗床孵化器，这是一项为期 6 个月的市场发现计划，旨在支持创新和有影响力的企业家和初创公司将其颠覆性技术转化为市场验证主张。EIT HEI 倡议：由 QUB 领导的 EntreUnity 项目建立了一个创业型大学网络，这些大学反思社会挑战并提供可扩展的平台来影响变革，使高等教育机构摆脱狭隘的研究商业化视角，并为在区域创新生态系统中发挥本地情境作用提供机会。
