Cornucopia_Amendment_3_Summary.docx

This amendment modifies a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation to replace an attachment. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks innovative research proposals to develop field-deployable systems for on-demand production of nutritious food from engineered microbes, air, water, and electricity. The research will investigate novel approaches and drive revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems to enable production of nutrition on demand at the point of consumption, within parameters associated with two use cases defined by DARPA. Research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice is specifically excluded. Except for replacing an attachment related to cost proposals, no other changes have been made to the solicitation.
