GuardAgents will address this challenge by developing new biopesticides that target the Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV), a major threat to crops around the world. GuardAgents will develop a new generation of efficient, cost-effective small antibodies, so-called nanobodies to enhance plant immunity, reduce pesticide dependency and contribute significantly toward sustainable agriculture. GuardAgents will also advance technological innovation in plant protection, minimize ecological impact, and foster long-term agricultural sustainability. A multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art approach will be employed producing recombinant nanobodies through in vitro and in vivo approaches involving E. coli and plants, followed by biophysical characterization using advanced analytical techniques. Molecular farming techniques will be applied to produce nanobodies in plants, followed by functional comparisons to in vitro-produced nanobodies. The antiviral efficacy of the developed nanobodies will be tested in plants through transient expression and transformation. Additionally, toxicity studies will be performed involving plant cell cultures, invertebrate and vertebrate animals, while environmental impact assessments will be conducted to ensure biosafety. This research seeks to optimize nanobody-based strategies for sustainable viral disease control in crops.

This initiative meets the environmental and societal demand for waste reduction and circular bio-economy solutions. With food by-products often discarded or underutilized, ENFiber unlocks their potential by promoting scalable green extraction technologies and implementing advanced characterization techniques. The main challenge is to scale fiber production from food processing waste, making it both commercially viable and environmentally sustainable. To achieve this, ENFiber will identify fiber-rich waste streams, explore non-destructive analytical methods, develop extraction methodologies to maximize yields, assess the environmental impact of the processes, and pursue product development opportunities. Collaboration between researchers, industry, and policymakers will ensure alignment with regulatory frameworks and market demands. ENFiber is organized into Working Groups focused on extraction, characterization, product development, sustainability, and dissemination. The network will promote capacity building through training schools, Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs), Virtual Mobility (VM) grants, and industry-academic partnerships, providing opportunities for early-career researchers to develop expertise and expand their networks. Aligned with the EU’s circular economy and Green Deal objectives, ENFiber promotes sustainable waste management and aims to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It also supports global environmental goals by creating value-added products for the food, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries. ENFiber aims to deliver tangible outcomes such as new fiber-based products, market-ready technologies, and regulatory recommendations, contributing to sustainable food systems and reducing the environmental impact of waste Areas of interest Fibers Waste Food processing Fibers Waste Food processing

Grant Agreement No.: KATANA-OC-2018/2 Funding 170.600,00€ Partners 3 partners Duration 9 months Description of the project At Hippocrates Farm, we cultivate, process and market, the best organic sea buckthorn, as a pleasant everyday food, so that people can benefit the most out of it. We started doing so, through the osmotic low temperature process, an innovative dehydration method that keeps all the goodness of the fresh fruit. The softness and the conservation of the nutritionals achieved through the osmotic procedure allow us the development of unique beneficial product applications. We go through the standard packaging procedure: we place our crop at a sealed polyethylene bag which is placed in a paper food packet, showing the brand of our product. The product is produced by Rezos Brands SA. We have launched Osmotic Sea Buckthorn and Osmotic Sea Buckthorn Juice, both excellent ways to consume Sea Buckthorn. Our next target was to launch this wonder food to an even wider audience. And there was an easy way to do so. Chocolate! Dark and smooth, full in antioxidants, turns sea buckthorn into a delicacy. We now are focusing on the next big thing for us: a new series of innovative organic products based on 85% cocoa chocolate, enriched with sea buckthorn extract and oat-based cereal with sea buckthorn and mountain tea extract.
