Including investment by the participating companies, the total value of the projects is in excess of £23m.
The work will lead to the development of new technologies and processes that will, for example, increase efficiency and reduce waste in the beef supply chain, increase bread manufacturing efficiency and sustainability, and introduce more energy efficient air distribution systems for cooling food factories.
The grant funding is being provided by the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, Defra, the Scottish Government, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
