Dairy Products at the Forefront of Nutrition
Rafaela, Argentina – 3 September 2025
The Selenium for All (Se4All) project celebrated its Final International Workshop on 3 September 2025 in Rafaela, Santa Fe Province, Argentina, under the theme: “Dairy Products at the Forefront of Nutrition: New Trends and Future Opportunities.”
Organized by INTA, INTI, and UNL, and joined by consortium partners from UAB (Spain), ALBA Synchrotron (Spain), Beal Organic Cheese Ltd (Ireland), Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), and REDINN (Italy), the event gathered researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to discuss the latest advancements in selenium biofortification and dairy innovation.
Highlights of the workshop included:
- Results from biofortification of alfalfa and selenium supplementation in ruminants.
- Advances in selenium-enriched milk and cheese production.
- Consumer studies and market perspectives for functional foods.
- Insights into the role of selenium in sustainable agriculture and health.
A highlight was the tasting of selenium-enriched Cheddar, produced within the project trials, demonstrating how research can be transformed into tangible, nutritious food products.
This final workshop marked the culmination of Se4All’s Horizon 2020 MSCA-funded journey, highlighting how international mobility and cooperation can turn scientific knowledge into practical solutions for society.
