Brussels, 21 October 2025 – Fedima, the Federation of European Manufacturers and Suppliers of Ingredients to the Bakery, Confectionery and Patisserie Industries, announced the recipient of the 2025 Sustainability Grant.
This is the first year Fedima has awarded €20,000 in a grant to promote local sustainable practices in the bakery and patisserie sector that contribute to environmental, social, and economic progress. This year’s Sustainability Grant programme invests in De Bellota, a Spanish organisation dedicated to producing acorn-based products through sustainable agricultural practices and rural empowerment.
“We are deeply grateful for this FEDIMA opportunity, which allows us to explore and implement new ways of growth as a society using ‘prehistoric-new’ raw bakery materials that positively impact the territory by expanding agroforestry practices and improving people’s nutrition”, said De Bellota representative Javier San Martín Loren, “Rebuilding productive ecosystems like the Mediterranean savannah is key to sustainable food production under climate uncertainty.”
