1 SC2 BIOECONOMY in Horizon 2020 Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy 19 DICEMBRE 2013 TAVOLA ROTONDA Iniziative e partenariati strategici per una visione integrata verso H2020 Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change Marina Montedoro Vice-Chair JPI FACCE Mipaaf Prossimi appuntamenti:

2 Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing BIOECONOMY in Horizon2020 INDICAZIONI PER TAVOLA ROTONDA Tempo a disposizione: minuti Punti da affrontare in slide/discussione durante la presentazione: 1. Cosa è? (JTI/JPI/EIP/etc..) 2. Quali contenuti di rilievo per il paese Italia nel sistema in esame 3. Quali opportunità per la comunità scientifica italiana e modalità di partecipazione 4. Link di riferimento

3 Background to FACCE-JPI SCAR Foresight 3 key challenges (2009): Food Security, Climate Change, Diet & Health EURAGRI brought FR and UK plans together to propose Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change JPI (Sept 09) NL proposed Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life JPI These 2 (plus Cultural Heritage) adopted Competitiveness Council (December 2009) FACCE-JPI GB created (January 2010) entry fee

4 What is FACCE JPI? The Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) brings together 21 countries who are committed to build an integrated European Research Area addressing the interconnected challenges of sustainable agriculture, food security and impacts of climate change. FACCE-JPI provides and steers research to support sustainable agricultural production and economic growth, to contribute to a European bio-based economy, while maintaining and restoring ecosystem services under current and future climate change.

6 FACCE JPI areas of expertise Globalisation Trade liberalisation Market instability Food security Food access, utilisation & availability Rising food demand Population rise Changing food habits Urbanisation Crops Livestock Grasslands Natural resources Aquaculture Forestry Biomass Planetary boundaries Land & water limits GHG limits,, Contaminants limits Peak oil, Peak phosphorus Agriculture Consuming Retailing & Distributing Processing & Packaging Producing Adaptation FACCE JPI Mitigation Water vapour Aerosols Albedo GHG emissions Carbon sinks Climate change Global environ. change Disturbed C and N cycles Soil degradation, Biodiversity loss

7 FACCE JPI Strategic Research Agenda One integrated document taking into account: Vision paper Stakeholder Consultation Meetings with funders and scientists: Mapping meetings Work with ERA-NETs Detailed discussions of core themes: SAB + invited experts Foresight (SCAR) Inputs of GB and Advisory Boards 5 core research themes with short-, medium- and long-term actions IMPLEMENTATION (based on short and medium)

8 SRA: 5 core research themes 1. Integrated food security under climate change, based on an integrated food systems perspective: modelling, benchmarking and policy research perspective. 2. Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems under current and future climate and resource availability. 3. Optimizing trade-offs between food production and the preservation and utilization of biodiversity, ecosystem goods and services. 4. Adaptation to climate change throughout the whole food chain, including market repercussions. 5. Mitigation of N 2 O and CH 4 emissions by the agriculture and forestry sector, carbon sequestration and reducing GHG emissions associated with indirect land use change.

9 Strategic Research Agenda Implementation of Agenda Knowledge Hub on Modeling of the impacts of CC on FS (CT1) International call on GHG Mitigation with USA, CA, NZ (CT5) ERA-NET Plus on Adaptation of agriculture (CT4) Prep. international call on Food security and land use change with Belmont Forum(CT1) Preparation of a common call with ERA-Net Biodiversa (CT3) Implementation plan
