FEAST is a five year research project funded by the Funded by the European Union, Innovative UK and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).  FEAST holds a commitment towards open science, implementation of open practices is guaranteed through the FEAST consortium, which includes members who already actively adhere to and apply open science principles. Our use of open practices underlines our commitment to FEAST’s MAA approach and empowering food system actors with knowledge to drive change on the ground. Knowledge will be shared at all stages of FEAST’s research and innovation lifecycle and across the different disciplines, which makes it of particular importance to integrate OS practices (not restricted to Open Access) as an elementary component from the beginning of the project. FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles will be the basis for FEAST’s research work.
