About Crops for the future - C4F

Climate change, global growing population and depletion of global natural resources make it clear that sustainable production of raw materials for feed, food and industrial purposes is more urgent than ever. A circular bioeconomy is the sustainable model that we believe in for the future of earth and humanity. This is also the supporting idea behind C4F.

With the help of all modern technologies, C4F focuses on developing bio-based raw materials and products, for example, oils, fiber and proteins and bio-based products. The research is conducted at basic and applied levels with national and international cooperation. The research is conducted in various research groups with a total of more than 30 researchers working within SLU in Alnarp and Uppsala with a large research network of national and international contacts. C4F also stimulates the involvement of young researchers, postdoc and doctoral students as well as Master thesis work within its research areas.
