Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and BiotechnologyBuilding a European Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) by bringing together science,industry and other stakeholders, to exploit new and emerging research opportunities thataddress social, environmental and economic challenges: the growing demand for safer,healthier, higher quality food and for sustainable use and production of renewablebioresources; the increasing risk of epizootic and zoonotic diseases and food related disorders;threats to the sustainability and security of agricultural, aquaculture and fisheries production;and the increasing demand for high quality food, taking into account animal welfare and ruraland coastal context and response to specific dietary needs of consumers.EU Bioeconomy Challenge:The specific objective is to secure sufficient supplies of safe, healthy and high quality food andother bio-based products, by developing productive, sustainable and resource-efficientprimary production systems, fostering related ecosystem services and the recovery ofbiological diversity, along side competitive and low carbon supply, processing and marketingchains. This will accelerate the transition to a sustainable European Bioeconomy, bridging thegap between new technologies and their implementation.

The projects of the SIRA will be developed around 5 value chains, where specificdeliverables will be demonstrated, ultimately leading to flagship projects.

To have competitive biobasedproducts in the market in 2020, eachstep of the value chains needs to becompetitive:- feedstock supply,- processing,- product and market (both in term of

price & environmental performance).

Value Chains.PPPs under SC2.- JTI on BioBased Industries: Value Chains.



The SIRA includes a balanced combination of:

• Value chain demonstration projects aiming towards integration and deploymentof technologies and R&D results into actual value chains and bringing technologyclose to commercial scale through upscaling in demonstration activities andflagship projects; (>65% of budget; at least 5 flagship projects)

• R&D projects focused on filling the gaps in technological innovations: dedicatedprojects on the development of specific technologies and concepts needed torealise the value chains, and proving the principles in pilot installations; (30% ofbudget; biomass supply 15%, biorefineries 60%, products and markets 25%)

Challenge:• Ensuring food supply in a climate change context with an increase in the

expected food demand, and ageing society, and expansion of bioenergy sector.

HORIZON 2020.- EIT.- KIC Food for the Future (in 2016)

Relevance and impact:• Food industry is the largest manufacturing sector;• Focus on whole food supply chain up to the consumer (reduction

of food waste, healthy nutrition) including food production,processing, packaging and distribution.

Important to:• Overcome the high level of fragmentation of the whole food

supply chain.• It will blend a critical mass of excellent research, innovation,

education and training stakeholders.



Joint Programming Initiatives – JPIsIntergovernmental process, defined by the European Commission in 2008, with the aimto pool national research efforts in order to make better use of Europe’s precious publicR&D resources and to tackle common European challenges more effectively in a few keyareas. It will follow a structured strategic process whereby Member States agree on acommon vision and a strategic research agenda to address given societal challenges.Member States are expected to coordinate national research activities, group resources,benefit from complementarities to provide the long-term and a stable research base thatis needed to address major societal challenges.

ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN R&D INITIATIVES.- JPIs



The FACCE – JPI evolved from outputs of the SCAR foresight exercises throughwhich Member States and Associated Countries identified food security andclimate change as two of the major issues impacting on the future of Europeanagriculture.

Strategic objective:To bring together European countries to identify, prioritise and deliver theresearch needed for agriculture to meet the challenge of responding to thedemands of growing population in terms of both food sufficiency and safetywithin the context of climate change.

ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN R&D INITIATIVES.- JPIs (AGRO)



Research Areas:• Sustainable food security under climate change• Environmentally sustainable growth and intensification of agricultural systems

under current and future climate and resource availability;• Assessing and reducing trade-offs between food production, biodiversity and

ecosystem services;• Adaptation to climate change throughout the whole food chain• Greenhouse gas mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sector, carbon

sequestration, fossil fuel substitution and mitigating GHG emissions induced byindirect land use change

ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN R&D INITIATIVES.- JPIs (AGRO)

The way forward:• Based on the SRA, a set of 15 priority research actions have been defined that

include short-term, medium-term and long-term actions.



Joint Programming of research in the field of nutrition, foodand health will provide for coordination of research on theimpact of diet and lifestyles on health, and on prevention ofdiet-related diseases and strengthening leadership andcompetitiveness on this field.

ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN R&D INITIATIVES.- JPIs (FOOD)

Research Areas:1. Determinants of diet and physical activity: ensuring the healthy choice is the

easy choice for consumers2. Diet and food production: developing high-quality, healthy, safe and sustainable

food products3. Diet-related chronic diseases: preventing diet-related, chronic diseases and

increasing the quality of life - delivering a healthier diet

EUROPEAN INNOVATION PARTNERSHIPS (EIPs)EIPs as a new approach to innovation were first proposed in the Europe 2020 strategyand further elaborated in the Commissions’ Communication on an Innovation Union in2010. The idea was to speed up the development and deployment of the technologiesneeded to meet the various challenges for Europe identified in those documents. EIPscontribute to speed up the adoption of research findings and to overcome thefragmentation of research activity in Europe. Through Innovation Partnerships, the EUaims at rebuilding broken links in the chain between research and bringing innovationto the market.

Their main objectives:tackle major societal challenges more effectively,bringing innovation to the market, but

EIPs will not act as a new instrument or programmeEIPs do not have any funding attached to them, BUT…

ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN R&D INITIATIVES.- EIPs



EIP Agricultural Productivity and SustainabilityThe EIP aims to foster a competitive and sustainable agriculture and forestry that'achieves more from less' and works in harmony with the environment. The EIP willhelp building a competitive primary sector that secures global food availability,diversified products and production, long-term supply of various raw-materials for foodand non-food uses, as well as a better allocation of added value across the food chain.

• As an indicator for promoting productivity and efficiency of the agriculturalsector, the EIP aims to reverse the recent trend of diminishing productivitygains by 2020.

• As an indicator for the sustainability of agriculture, the EIP aims to secure soilfunctionality in Europe at a satisfactory level by 2020. Soil functionalityencompasses the productive capacity of soils and its key roles in climatechange mitigation and adaptation and eco-system stability.

EIP AGRO – Areas of Innovative Actions:• Increased agricultural productivity, output, and resource efficiency

• Innovation in support of the bio-based economy

• Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, and soil functionality
