6 months agoAgro-food research foundation in Catalonia providing services to government and to public and private sectors
CREDA (the Center for Agro-Food Research and Development) is a research foundation supported by two institutions: Catalonia Polytechnic University (UPC) and the Institute for Food and Agricultural Research and Technology (IRTA). CREDA-UPC-IRTA was born out of the necessity for formalizing a public Catalan research and development body in the agro-food sector, unifying and strengthening R+D capabilities and making these capabilities available to government as well as public and private sectors.
CREDA is a dynamic and reliable center comprised of a diverse and talented team of researchers, consultants, and technicians with backgrounds spanning economics, agricultural and forestry engineering, sociology, and environmental science. It is quickly becoming a reference center for agro-food economy and rural development both in Catalonia and internationally.
Central themes of the research being conducted at CREDA include:
• Assessment of consumer preferences and consumer behavior towards agricultural products
• Development and improvement of agriculture and livestock competitiveness
• Sustainability of food systems from a systemic perspective
• Sustainable and innovative use of natural resources
• Livelihood strategies and preferences of rural producers in the face of global change
• Enhanced understanding of the numerous and complex interactions between society and the local territory
CREDA operates at the crossroads of the public and private sectors, perfectly situated to act as a reliable agent in the transfer of relevant and accurate scientific information which will assist actors at all nodes of food value chains in making informed decisions.
