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.
