Science, Humanism and Technology for Sustainable Food Systems
An independent French non-profit research and innovation association connecting data science, agroecology, food cultures and human-centred development.
Our Mission
Metraltus develops and supports interdisciplinary research, methods and collaborations designed to describe, understand and value products, know-how, territories, food cultures and intangible heritage.
Our work brings together scientific rigour, human dignity, responsible innovation and the African ethic of Ubuntu. We seek practical approaches that can serve producers, communities, researchers and institutions in Africa and beyond.
Our Approach
Research
Interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersection of food systems, data science, agroecology, public health, culture and sustainable development.
People and Territories
Human-centred approaches that recognise producers, knowledge, languages, local practices and territories as essential sources of value and knowledge.
Responsible Innovation
Careful use of digital technologies, data governance and scientific standards to support trustworthy and sustainable food systems.
Research Programme
Metraltus explores computational food identity, multidimensional data frameworks, traceability, data governance, standards and the sustainable valorisation of food products and cultural knowledge.
