Abstract

This Work Programme will leverage research and innovation to address major societal challenges. Ensuring food and nutritional security, together with resource efficiency, and facing climate change. According to the FAO, to meet food demand to feed a global population projected for over 9 billion by the year 2050, a 60% increase in global agricultural production is necessary relative to 2005. And this challenge has to be met in the context of increasing resource scarcities while minimizing food safety risks and adapting to/mitigating climate change. It will be crucial to develop win-win solutions that bring together the primary sector and the food industry, considering nutrition, health, water and energy efficiency, zero waste and environmental sustainability in a holistic way.
