Unleashing the Potential of Sustainable Food Systems

As the world grapples with food insecurity, climate change and biodiversity loss, we believe in the promise of progress. With CATAPULT project, we identify, embrace, and promote innovative alternatives often overlooked by the mainstream intensive farming.  Our vision is to create a harmonious balance between environmental sustainability, nutritional excellence, and preservation of cultural heritage.
