  4. FP7 2007 - 2013 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom

  5. Cooperation – Collaborative research 9 Thematic Priorities • Health • Food, agriculture and biotechnology • Information and communication technologies • Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies • Energy • Environment (including climate change) • Transport (including aeronautics) • Socio-economic sciences and the humanities • Security and space + Euratom: Fusion energy research, nuclear fission and radiation protection

  6. 2. Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments “Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes

  7. Food, agriculture and biotechnology research:Objectives • Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) • Respond to social and economic challenges: • High quality food and sustainable food production • Food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity …) • Infectious animal diseases and zoonoses • Sustainable agriculture/fishery and climate change • Clean biomaterials from renewable bio-resources • Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research • Support CAP and CFP • Respond quickly to emerging research needs

  8. Food, agriculture and biotechnology research:Rationale • Biotechnology and food companies / SMEs need to be competitive on the world market (‘European Strategy on Life Sciences and Biotechnology’) • Society demands safer and healthier food • Renewable resources and biomass for non-food applications helps reducing dependence on hydrocarbon-based economy • Society demands sustainable and eco-efficient production methods in agriculture/fishery/forestry • International cooperation ensures optimal exploitation of resources and application of results

  9. THE EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE-BASED BIOECONOMY QUALITY ASSURANCE STRATEGIES TRACEABILITY, CONSUMER SCIENCE SOCIETAL NEEDS STABILITY - BIODEGRADABILITY FUNCTIONALITY (Chirality) Life sciences & biotechnology for sustainable non- food products + processes “Fork to Farm”Food, health and well-being WHITEBIOTECH CLEAN BIOPROCESSES RAW MATERIALS/WASTE ADVANCED FOOD TECHNOLOGIES, FOOD QUALITY DETERMINANTS, NUTRITION PROCESSING GREEN/BLUE BIOTECH OPTIMISED RAW MATERIALS LOW INPUT FARMING - BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH - RURAL DEVT. PRODUCTION Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments

  10. 1) Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environment Activities: • Enabling research (‘omics’, converging technologies, biodiversity) for micro-organism, plants and animals • Improved crops and production systems incl. organic farming • Sustainable, competitive and multifunctional agriculture, forestry and rural development • Animal welfare, breeding and production • Infectious diseases in animals, including zoonoses • Policy tools for agriculture and rural development

  11. 2) “Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being Activities: • Consumer, societal, industrial and health aspects of food and feed • Nutrition, diet related diseases and disorders • Innovative food and feed processing • Improved quality and safety of food, beverage and feed • Total food chain concept • Traceability

  12. 3) Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes Activities: • Improved crops, feed-stocks, marine products and biomass for energy, environment, and high added value industrial products; novel farming systems • Bio-catalysis; new bio-refinery concepts • Forestry and forest based products and processes • Environmental remediation and cleaner processing

  13. Food, agriculture and biotechnology research:What’s new! • Pillar 2 “Food, health and well-being” ensures continuity of FP6 “Food quality and safety” research • New: Pillar 1 “Sustainable production and management of biological resources” and pillar 3 “Life sciences and biotech for sustainable non-food products and processes” • Some topics under pillar 1&3 partly financed in FP4 and FP5 (BIOTECH, FAIR, QoL, etc.), but FP6 efforts scattered and not of sufficient critical mass (some activities under materials, energy and environment) providing no synergies • Technology platforms in the area of plant biotechnology, animal breeding, global animal health, forestry, food and industrial biotechnology

  14. Food, agriculture and biotechnology research:Borderline with other FP7 themes • Enabling/systems biology research on plants, animals and microbes complementary to systems biology for human health applications in theme 1. • Complementary research relating to the management/conservation of natural resources addressed under the “Environment including Climate Change” theme. • Demonstration of bioprocesses for biomass conversion to energy/materials under this priority – up-scaling and complete process design under materials and energy themes

  15. Food, agriculture and biotechnology research:NEST; policy support; international cooperation New activities within the themes: • Integration of new and emerging science and technologies • Support to policy development (CAP, CPF, public health, food safety, animal health, …) • International co-operation … to be defined on the level of the specific programme or workprogramme
