Axfoundation, the philanthropic arm of the Axel Johnson Group, has released fresh information regarding its portfolio of ongoing projects. These updates cover a broad spectrum of focus areas, from advancements in food production and sustainability practices to critical work in combating antibiotic resistance and promoting circular economy principles.

The foundation's initiatives include research into novel bio-based materials and the exploration of 'blue food' sources, such as algae, for future food applications. There is also a continued emphasis on understanding the microbiome's role in food and its impact on human health, alongside efforts to digitize food supply chains using technologies like blockchain.
