Inspired by Bavarian and Israeli Resilience: How could developing countries provide food security for their citizens?

Climate change, the war in the Ukraine and other geo-political conflicts are having an acute effect on all of us, but especially on developing countries. Both Bavaria and Israel, with their long lasting economic and scientific partnership, are searching for new food solutions. 

Bavaria and Israel cooperate together: As part of a side event at the Munich Security Conference on February 17th, 2023, organized by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, the Consulate General of the State of Israel in southern Germany and the Fraunhofer Center for Secure Intelligent Systems (LZSiS) it was discussed how Bavaria and Israel with their advanced food technologies and intelligent agricultural solutions could support developing countries in dealing with food security.

Innovative solutions for the food industry

Climate change and dwindling resources, as well as uncertain supply chains and rising food prices, pose major challenges for the global food industry. The potential on the path to a sustainable food supply is great.

13 Fraunhofer institutes are conducting research in the area of the food industry and are working together on solutions along the entire value chain: from innovative approaches, e.g. in the areas of agriculture, product protection and analytics, food and logistics, to new processing technologies and developments in terms of sustainability and the circular economy.

The Fraunhofer Food Industry Alliance builds on decades of collaboration. The competencies of currently 13 Fraunhofer institutes are bundled under the umbrella of the alliance, which is part of the Fraunhofer network of around 76 institutes. Customers from the food industry benefit from this unique scientific infrastructure and interdisciplinary know-how - for their solutions of a sustainable food industry.
