What are the challenges we all face?
What is the Political Opportunity? Junckers Priorities
The Societal 2 Work Programme will help to implement EU policies & initiatives EU Single Digital Economy
In the circular economy (CE), biological resources require attention to their lifecycle, environmental impacts and sustainable sourcing. To address the CE & biobased materials the EU Commission will promote an efficient use of bio-based resources through guidance and dissemination of best practices of the cascading use of biomass and support to innovation in the bio-economy for new materials, chemicals and processes. And what does the circular economy mean in terms of the Bioeconomy? (Circular) Bioeconomy Strategy Update SC-2 & BBI Work Programmes, CAP
And what does the bioeconomy mean in terms of Food? Public Private Investment International Stakeholders 8
FOOD 2030 R&I for tomorrow's nutrition & food systems Priorities Perfect Storm: climate change, population growth, resource scarcity, malnutrition, obesity & NCDs Political opportunity: response to SDGs, COP21+, Junker priorities Investment opportunity: EU underinvesting in food & agri R&I despite high returns on investment Need for a systemic approach to future-proofing food systems via more impactful R&I
FOOD 2030 - New level of ambition, impact and focus Food system approach New partnerships with Member States, business, society and other stakeholders Map & close R&I investment gap Connect R&I, from 'farm-to-fork-to-gut-and back' including primary production Game changing technologies, approaches, business models New global platform 10

The context: Primary production, food and bio-based industries challenged to operate in a rapidly changing world Strategic orientations Climate change and resilience on land and sea Circular bioeconomy Healthy eco, food systems and lifestyles Innovations on land and sea Smart, connected territories and value chains Priorities Meeting needs of food /feed/biobased/energy products. Address sources of C02 emissions and agri-forest are sequestration reservoirs Resource efficient production, distribution value chains based on efficient use of wastes, residues, by-products and business models to maintain natural capital Food & nutrition security & sustainability of food systems sustainable management of land, soil, water, biodiversity, ecosystem services nutrition, lifestyle & health resilient, responsible, diverse, competitive & inclusive New products, new value chains, new markets testing, demonstrating, scaling up new technologies & business models - e.g. PPPs Rural & coastal areas sustainability and capitalisation of natural, social and economic assets in a territorial area, long-term drivers for business, services and value chains and in particular new partnerships between producers, processors, retailers & society

Specific approaches and cross-cutting issues Inputs from the Social Sciences and Humanities - relevant to tackle the complex challenges addressed in the 2018-2020 Work Programme for Societal Challenge 2. The work programme includes topics where it is relevant to look at the gender dimension in a research content. Research and innovation activities should explore, analyse, and address possible sex and gender differences. The concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) underpins this work programme, aiming to align research and innovation to the values, needs and expectations of society. Several topics include a suggestion for coordination between projects financed under the same or related topics. This allows organising clusters of projects working on similar issues, to avoid duplication of efforts and to enable crossfertilisation and synergies. 15

Make use of existing European research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures). Proposers are encouraged to use FIWARE for some or all of their platform developments, when relevant. FIWARE enablers are available at www.fiware.org under open source licence for business use. Proposers are advised to consult information on the Copernicus programme in general as well as the availability of Copernicus Sentinel Data. To promote pan-european coherence and interoperability, integrate the results of the different activities and facilitate international cooperation, the activities related to earth observation data and other spatial data should at best comply with and build upon the existing Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) 17
