Support development of innovative, sustainable and commercially viable renewable food, energy, and bio-products using photosynthetic organisms.
Food & Fuel for the 21st Century (FF21) was established in May 2012 as a formal organized research unit at UCSD. FF21 is a campus-wide initiative aimed at:
- Facilitating collaboration between researchers throughout biology, chemistry, engineering, economics and policy;
- Providing training and education opportunities for young scientists and students;
- Facilitating communication between researchers and industry scientists via symposia, seminars, industrial advisory meetings, and round tablediscussions;
- Facilitating technology transfer with the commercial sector; and
Informing regional, state and national policy makers.
FF21 supports the development of innovative, sustainable and commercially viable solutions for the renewable production of food, energy, green chemistry and bio-products using photosynthetic organisms.
