Apresentação

The agrifood system stands as an important sector worldwide. Encompassing all the food supply chain facets – from cultivation to consumption – it includes food and beverages processing/production, farming, retail, transportation, packaging, and more. Yet, it faces several challenges, due to natural resources scarcity, population growth, labour productivity and climate impact are responsible for several challenges in the agrifood sector. In response, innovation emerges as essential for this field’s progress, to meet the demands while being aligned with environmental concerns.

The Biotech & Agrifood Business course intends to explore three main areas: Biorefineries, Biofertilizers and Fermentation Technologies, and present a transformative overview of several intricate problems of agrifood systems. This course will also introduce important business concepts, which will allow working towards a synergy between biotechnology and business development.

This course will allow students to develop an innovative and business-directed mindset while cultivating sustainability and resilience for the future agrifood system.

 

Objectives

  • Provide knowledge and specialized training in different Biotechnology fields (Biorefineries, Biofertilizers and Fermentation Technologies), presenting case studies focused on applications within the agrifood sector.
  • Present business concepts associated with Deep Tech based solutions.

The main objective of this course is to present knowledge and case studies from relevant areas being developed within the Biotechnology field, while giving important knowledge for cultivating a mindset primed for innovation. Furthermore, essential business concepts will be explored, to unlock the potential to transform innovation into business opportunities.

This course is supported by the DIP4Agri project, coordinated by the Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
