Academically well founded, practical solutions for the improvement of our world
About us
We are dedicated to providing academically well founded, practical solutions for achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations in general, focussing on improvement of nutrition, food and agricultural situation of the world in particular.
On base of wide-range application of latest methods of big data collection and analysis as well as mobilisation of intellectual resources in Europe we bridge the gap between theory and praxis, uniting the academic rigorousness of scholar owners and partners with flexibility of a small-scale, private owned start up company.

Linking the dimensions of policy-related research on obesity: a hybrid mapping with multicluster topics and interdisciplinarity maps. Scientometrics, In Press
Mapping the intellectual structure and dynamics of complex, multidisciplinary domains has long been a challenging task for bibliometrics. Research subjects with outstanding social relevance are typically of this sort, being multifaceted and requiring a synthesis of various field-specific perspectives.

The Reform of School Catering in Hungary: Anatomy of a Health-Education Attempt. Nutrients, 11(4), 716.
School lunch nutrition standards are an important carrier of messages on healthy eating and an efficient way of changing the nutritional behaviour of new generations. Many countries in Europe have a compulsory system of school meals; the Hungarian government also wanted to take action in order to improve the nutrition requirements of the school catering service.
Expertise
Data management and mining in field of nutrition, food and agriculture
The Pro-Sharp Research and Innovation Center in healthcare and food sector development applies a system-based, holistic approach. That’s why beside the nutritional situation analysis as well as prevention programmes we consider the possibilities of development of other activities, which could also contribute to the boost of the local economies, from promotion of rural tourism to renewable energy use.
Knowledge mapping, discovery and synthesis for informed R&D&I decision making
Research, development and innovation management requires up-to-date knowledge on current science, research directions and trends, timely problems and solutions provided by the scientific community. i.e. by field experts and professionals.
