Our goal was to include topics concerning food nutrition and security from agri-food through nutrition and lifestyle to healthy and disease.

FNS-Cloud’s main objective was to launch a ‘food cloud’ bringing together existing and emerging food nutrition and security data, tools, and services for all user communities. The first-generation ‘food cloud’ service is aligned with EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) to simplify access and movement between these initiatives in the future.
