Triptolemos Foundation: OBJECTIVES

The food fact is a human fact, inexorable and permanent, which exceeds its biological nutritional bases through the addition of economic, anthropological-cultural and ethical values. The large number of facets, and consequently, of interests, causes partial, often opposing, views that do not contribute to the necessary global vision for a correct technical and social response that seems essential for today and the future.

The TRIPTOLEMOS Foundation for Agrifood Development is constituted to create a space for dialogue and activities amongst all the groups involved, from the primary producer to the consumer along the whole chain. Its core lies in universities and in representatives of the productive sector with the same concern. It is created in the belief that joint efforts must give rise to a strengthening of the food world in any of its forms, at the same time creating a confidence, sadly questioned today, in matters that go from the prestige of research and collaboration in the urgent problem of the almost 900M starving people in the world, to the best nutrition for everyone, in an environment of belief in the system.

The Foundation must be a proactive, predictive and prospective institution. It must anticipate the future.
