Motivation and the environment

The goals of College F3 are related to economic globalization in a scenario of climate and demographic changes and resources scarcity, being aware that the attitudes in food

production and consumption have a huge contribution to global sustainability threats

College F3 contributes to create and share integrated knowledge towards technological advances and new strategies in the fields of innovation and socioenvironmental

responsibility, and to provide substantive information to policy makers point out to sustainability

In F3 science, scientists, economic and social actors are called to co-produce and

communicate socially relevant knowledge

College F3 initiatives do not overlap those running in Faculties and Institutes, only tackling challenges

that cannot be fully answered by individual knowledge
