Throughout this year, the English Technology Platform Food for Life -Spain has requested more than 35 projects of agro-technology innovation and exceeding value 83 million euros, as recorded by the Annual Report of Activities of the platform launched last November at a meeting of its Governing Council. The activity level of the platform is growing every year since its inception in 2007. Both the number of projects as the budget has exceeded the figures achieved in 2009-seven new projects totaling more than three million euros, thanks to the complex network of institutions and agencies that make up the platform.

The objective of this project is to develop new molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) fast, sensitive, robust and economical, designed to meet current industry needs control food quality and food safety. The main purpose is to develop the MIPs can be used both in food prior to packaging and packaging in the rear. PASA
(Development of new methodologies and emerging technologies for showing foods with health claims for reducing risk of chronic diseases
since the average life expectancy). FRISBEE
(Innovations in refrigeration for food safety of consumers. Benefits, environmental impact and energy optimization along the cold chain in Europe). The project focuses on developing new innovative tools, technologies and mathematical modeling techniques that seek to combine aspects of food quality and safety with environmental, economic and energetic throughout the cold chain. NU AGE
(a new diet strategies to address the specific needs of the elderly population to healthy aging in Europe). This project seeks to achieve an integrated view of the effect of diet on the prevention of age-related diseases.
In the four projects mentioned above, multi-agency national and international
