Agency:
Foundation
for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR)
Description:
The
overarching goal of this RFA is to support innovative research necessary for
improving the physico-chemical properties, yield
and total plant protein for human consumption. The RFA seeks to provide
knowledge and resources needed to enhance the supply chain for plant-based
protein in a profitable and sustainable manner. FFAR and its co-funders
are committed to supporting research on the following
topics:
1.
Genomic
resources and a technology toolbox for new or underutilized protein
crops.
2.
Enhancing
functional and nutritional properties of plant proteins for plant-based food
applications.
3.
Performing
market-based analyses for new or underutilized and/or production systems of
proteins for plant-based food.
