What is an Operational Group?

An Operational Group (OG) is a group of actors with different profiles, such as farmers, researchers, universities, etc. to be able to jointly address a specific problem or opportunity from a multi-sector approach.

BIODIF Operational Group

This project aims at biofunctionalization with essential micro/macroelements of three strategic national crops used as food matrices (tomato, corn and olive) for the production of table olives and oil, through the application of nanotechnology (nanofertilizers).

Goals

• Select the most interesting nutrients and bioactive compounds from the nutritional and health perspective and establish their analysis methodology.
• To characterize the impact of biofunctionalization on the agronomic, organoleptic and nutritional properties of commercial and traditional varieties of tomato, corn and olive in different environments.
• Evaluate the feasibility of nutritional claims/labeling and health properties on crops of interest and certification/s of Good Circular Economy Practices (BPEC)/Sustainable Agriculture.
• Analyze the implications for the management of agri-food companies of the incorporation of biofunctionalized foods into the market.

Components

The BIODIF Operational Group is composed of 8 entities who participate in different categories to achieve the development of the project:

Scope of action

The BIODIF Operational Group is present, through its components, in 4 Autonomous Communities.
