CIHEAM – Italy
CIHEAM Bari is a centre for post-graduate training, applied scientific research and design of “in loco” partnership actions within the framework of international research and cooperation programmes. It was founded in 1962. The mission of CIHEAM Bari is to promote sustainable agriculture in the Mediterranean countries and foster the spirit of international cooperation in agriculture, focusing on training, research and cooperation. Through its MSc courses and PhD students and, principally, among the active participation at research and cooperation projects at the European and Mediterranean level, CIHEAM Bari is very active in spreading the innovation knowledge in agriculture. It is developing several IA (innovation Actions), RIA (Research projects) and European networks in the frame of the Horizon 2020 program.
Role in the project
CIHEAM will lead Developing sustainable insect diets from agricultural wastes and sidestreams, and contribute to Biological, technical and economic requirements on insect rearing process, Optimizing insect rearing (chain) through the development of a model-driven support system, Integration plan and platform interfaces, Testing, optimization and technical validation, and Pilot preparation and planning.
