The results of the EU-funded FOODMETRES project were discussed at the EU's Bioeconomy Investment Summit, held in Brussels in November 2015. Experts from across the agricultural industry collaborated to find innovative solutions that will ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of food supplies to urban areas. At the summit, project coordinator Dirk Wascher from Alterra Wageningen in the Netherlands outlined the project's key successes, and how these will benefit local and national level policy makers, consumers and businesses attached to the agro-food sector.
