GrOBEat develops an innovative sustainable organic beef production chain where quality replaces quantity -a solution which facilitate healthy eating behaviour and provide high product satisfaction. Calves are raised with dams for 4 mo. before selected to deliver one of three high-quality products: A) Low-fat veal (8 mo); B) Mediumfat beef from intensive pasture (14-16 mo); C) Medium-fat beef from extensive pasture (24-26 mo). The product is documented according to efficiency, animal welfare, biodiversity, quality and sensory profile of the meat, eating behavior and the overall impact on the climate.

The project will form the basis for reducing methane emissions from cattle by 1 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030, corresponding to the government's agreement on the green transformation of Danish agriculture. The mean of action is the implementation of feed additives, feed materials and feeding strategies to reduce the methane emission from the cow.
Equipment will be installed to measure methane emissions from individual cows on several cattle farms. This will provide a unique trial setup to test and optimize the allocation of feed additives under practical conditions in order to achieve the greatest possible reduction in methane emissions, without affecting the cows' feed intake, milk yield, health or welfare. Furthermore, the project must ensure that the quality of the milk and meat is not impaired by the use of feed additives.
The project will provide a unique opportunity to bring the feed additives and feeding strategies closer to Danish farmers and companies and enable them to be the first worldwide to implement these strategies and additives in practice to reduce methane emissions

Det overordnede mål med NaFoCo er at udvide den danske position til den meget konkurrenceprægede internationale naturlige madfarve, markedsføre og fremskynde fuld udskiftning af kunstige madfarver for at imødekomme forbrugernes efterspørgsel og gavne menneskers sundhed.
Ved brug af sorte gulerødder (BC) som modelafgrøde etablerer NaFoCo en industriel platform til hurtig udvikling af skræddersyede naturlige farver, der muliggør yderligere udskiftning af kunstige farver med naturlige løsninger i udfordrende madapplikationer. AU-FOODs vil i projektet udvikle en analytisk platform til at forstå, hvorledes anthocyaniners molekylære strukturers påvirker farve- nuance og intensitet samt stabilitet. Ydermere bliver molekylære strukturer relateres til genetik og miljøpåvirking.
Oterra A/S er projektleder på NAFCOCO.
Fra AU FOOD er Trine Kastrup Dalsgaard leder på projektet og Martin Jensen er arbejdspakkeleder.
