Environment and climate-smart food production and consumption progress on low greenhouse gas emission agriculture, fisheries and food industries. strategies and tools to better cope with more variable and extreme weather events, changing environmental conditions and new emerging threats. mitigation capacity of the primary production sector and the synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation measures. Activities also tackle the stewardship and use of natural resources on land and sea and other inputs throughout food production. optimising resource use and reducing environmental footprints throughout primary production, food industries, food distribution, food service and households.

Building Capacities & Targeted Cooperation More fundamental research needs Harmonisation and rationalisation of data, methods or infrastructures. Test new approaches and develop new models for business creation and societal engagement. Delivery of knowledge and resources to support downstream translational research and innovations Targeted activities are foreseen to support the implementation of the EU-Africa Partnership on Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA) and implement the EU-China FAB Flagship initiative.
