Report on food classification: the concept “Ultraprocessed”
The term “Ultra-processed” has become fashionable in certain circles related to nutrition. This term is generating much confusion in consumer groups and in the food production sector that its interpretation generates controversy. This document analyzes the reason for this confusion.
Fundación Triptolemos has prepared the “Report on the frontal labeling of food: nutritional traffic lights, Nutri-Score and others” in order to help articulate the food system with scientific criteria around issues of interest to society. The labeling of packaged foods is a universal concern present in the national legislation of most countries and is a highly topical issue. In Spain, a debate will open shortly.
Fundación Triptolemos has coordinated the book “The sale of food online. Regulation and future prospects ” This work compiles the opinions and forecasts of various specialists offering an exhaustive analysis of online commerce.
Triptolemos Foundation Statement
We denounce the fake news and all those commercial strategies that in different ways question the rigor of the rules and legislation. The objective of the initiative is to raise society’s awareness of its consequences.
The current challenge of agriculture is to ensure sustainability, being aware that in the next half century we have to produce as much as in the previous ten thousand years, having to worry, at the same time, about the improvement of crop resilience, in a unquestionable scenario of climate change. The World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) urges us to achieve Food Security, understood as the situation in which all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient food, safe and nutritious, to satisfy their nutritional needs and preferences, in order to lead an active and healthy life.
Network of Campus of International Excellence with agri-food activity (CEI AA Network)
The NETWORK of Campus of International Excellence with agri-food activity as a working group of the Triptolemos Foundation is organized in 4 areas, which aim to boost and enhance the synergies among its members.

Science and Innovation for Sustainable Development: Global Food Production and Food Security
The alimentary system, contemplated with a global vision, plays a fundamental role in human development, due to its biological basis and its social implications
This work is the result of the work of more than forty authors who have sent us their comments and reflections on many other topics.
Science at the service of food availability
How many foods are not wasted thanks to technology?
Fundación Triptolemos has prepared this study that deals from a scientific point of view the use of science and technology in the food sector to guarantee food availability from a sustainable and safe point of view.

The guide offers free information with more than 10,000 references classified by sectors of business activity.
Its presentation allows a quick and easy search of the information.
The Triptolemos Foundation has developed a model that allows the Global Food System TRIPTOLEMOS Index (ITRIn) to be quantified, through previously defined parameters. The model allows the forecast and comparison between food systems in different countries and territories. The model has been recognized by UNESCO with the grant of the Chair “Science and Innovation for Sustainable Development: Global Food Production and Safety”
