The Executive Committee of the BFFood awards an extraordinary prize to NANO CELL FARMS
The BFFood Executive Committee decided to exceptionally increase the number of places for the acceleration category and will have 7 projects, and not the 6 that were initially planned.
The beneficiary of this place, in runner-up mode, has been the NANO CELL FARMS project, from Colombia, which proposes the production of Nano Bacterial Cellulose (NBC) from different sources and substrates or agro-industrial waste.
The main novelty of this project is to be able to transform a by-product, which is currently discarded, into a nanomaterial, and that high-impact applications can be developed from it, in foods as nutraceutical ingredients and in phytotherapeutics in the form of dressings and cosmetics.
