For the European food system to be future-proof by 2030, significant changes have to be made to the whole value chain from agricultural and aquaculture production, to processing and packaging, to retail and consumption, to how to deal with food waste. Research and innovation (R&I) is expected to play a role in supporting the transformation that is needed to achieve a sustainable, fair, resource-efficient, circular and climate-supportive food system and that has a positive impact on the health of European citizens. In order to understand where research and innovation efforts are needed, the European project FIT4FOOD2030 aims to understand trends, showcases and potential breakthroughs that have happened and are happening in research and innovation, and that have the potential to support or hinder the transformation of the European food system.
A contribution to the FIT4FOOD2030 survey will be very welcome and well-used, since the outcomes of this questionnaire will feed stakeholder meetings with people that are part of the European food system. These stakeholder meetings will be used as base to inform policy decisions by the European Commission on how to invest in research and innovation for a future-proof European food system.
Deadline for submitting information: 30 June 2018.
