Food, agriculture and biotechnology: Objectives
• Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE)
• Respond to social and economic challenges:– High quality food and sustainable food production– Food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity …)– Infectious animal diseases and zoonoses– Sustainable agriculture/forestry and climate change– Clean biomaterials from renewable bio-resources
• Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research • Support Policy• Respond quickly to emerging research needs

Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology in FP7
Three activities
1) Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments
2) “Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being
3) Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes
7
The Forestry-Wood Chain in Activity 1:
• Sustainable and competitive forestry: will enhance consumers confidence in forest based products and improve the competitiveness of the forest sector
• Improved/novel trees and production systems: will lead to improved/novel forest based raw materials
• Policy tools for forestry and RD: will allow the optimal allocation and market access of forest based products
8
• Bio-catalysis; new biorefinery concepts: will broaden the application of forest based materials
• Improved/novel forest based products and processes: will enable the sector to meet consumers expectations
• Environmental sound and cleaner products and processes: will raise the environmental profile of forest based products
The Forestry-Wood Chain in Activity 3:
9
* Securing the availability of renewable raw materials, while supporting the varied uses of forests and safeguarding biodiversity, through sustainable forest management* Obtaining an economic and environmental balance in using forest biomass for products and energy, as well as substantially improving the industry’s energy efficiency* Providing products and services that respond to changes in societal needs* Developing and designing new products that can be recycled, reused and finally converted to bio-energy
KBBE research is meeting future challenges:
