OnFoods Magazine: making research accessible and trustworthy

Information and research move at different speeds: the media seek quick news, while research publishes only well-established results.

Today, with the "medialization of science," public visibility is increasingly integrated into scientific practice without compromising quality. To address this challenge, OnFoods Magazine publishes weekly articles, interviews, and updates, making OnFoods research accessible to the public. Our goal is to balance accessibility with scientific rigor.
