Calls for proposals for 'Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research'
Activities under Societal Challenge 'Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy' aim at making the best of our biological resources in a sustainable way. The objective is to contribute to securing sufficient supplies of safe, healthy and high quality food and other bio-based products, by developing productive, sustainable and resource-efficient primary production systems, fostering related ecosystem services and the recovery of biological diversity, alongside competitive and low carbon supply chains. This will accelerate the transition to a sustainable European bioeconomy, bridging the gap between new technologies and their implementation. To achieve this objective, this Work Programme part offers opportunities in finding diverse and innovative solutions to well-identified challenges in key EU policy priorities. Through generic or dedicated topics, a broad multidisciplinary participation is welcomed in these efforts. The overarching principle underlying the activities proposed is that applicants are invited to find solutions which will make positive changes to our society, economy and environment, using resources more efficiently. In this respect, solutions should be found that cut across research and technological fields, with a strong innovation and market driven approach, in view of increasing growth and job creation. The involvement of end users including farmers, fishers, consumers, public authorities (including at local and regional levels) and society at large will be key to achieve this. In particular, several topics will involve a 'multi-actor approach' as foreseen in the Horizon 2020 Regulation.To see the official call announcements, please consult: Blue Growth: Unlocking the Potential of Seas and Oceans(opens in new window) Blue Growth: Unlocking the Potential of Seas and Oceans(opens in new window) Blue Growth: Unlocking the Potential of Seas and Oceans(opens in new window) Blue Growth: Unlocking the Potential of Seas and Oceans(opens in new window) Sustainable Food Security(opens in new window) Sustainable Food Security(opens in new window) Sustainable Food Security(opens in new window) Sustainable Food Security(opens in new window) Innovative, Sustainable and Inclusive Bioeconomy(opens in new window) Innovative, Sustainable and Inclusive Bioeconomy(opens in new window) Innovative, Sustainable and Inclusive Bioeconomy(opens in new window) Innovative, Sustainable and Inclusive Bioeconomy(opens in new window)
