Recital 7
(7) Reflecting the important contribution that research and innovation should make to address challenges in food, agriculture, rural development and the bioeconomy, and to seize the corresponding research and innovation opportunities in close synergy with Common Agricultural Policy, relevant actions under the Specific Programme will be supported with the dedicated EUR 10 billion for the cluster 'Food and Natural Resources' for the period 2021-2027.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1
Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and sustainable use of resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and their capacity to provide services for human well-being. The concepts of the circular economy, the bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 2
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 2
Meeting the goals of sustainable development, guaranteeing the production and consumption of safe and healthy food, promoting sustainable practices in agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry, ensuring access to clean water, soil and air for all, cleaning up the seas and oceans, preserving and restoring the planet’s vital natural systems and environment requires that we harness the potential of research and innovation. But the pathways for the transition to sustainability and ways to overcome resilient barriers are hardly understood. Making the transition to sustainable consumption and production and restoring planetary health requires investing in technologies, new business models, and socialo-economic and environmental innovation. This creates new opportunities for a sustainable, resilient, innovative and responsible European economy, boosting resource efficiency, productivity and competitiveness, and generating jobs and growth.

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 3
Activities will build a knowledge base and deliver solutions to: ensuring that biodiversity is maintained in the face of growing demand on natural resources, sustainably manage and use natural resources from land and seaaquatic environments - and enhance the role of terrestrial and aquatic systems as carbon sinks; ensure food and nutrition security, providing safe, healthy and nutritious diets; accelerate the transition from a fossil-based linear economy to a resource efficient, resilient, low emission, low-carbon circular economy, and supporting the development of a sustainable bio-based economy and the blue economy; and develop resilient and vibrant rural, coastal and urban areas.
Amendment 124 #

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 4
They will help to maintain and enhance the provision of biodiversity and secure the long-term provision of ecosystem services, climate change adaptation and carbon sequestration (both on land and sea). They will help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions, waste and pollution from primary production (both terrestrial and aquatic), processing, consumption and other human activities. They will trigger investments, supporting the shift towards a circular economy, bioeconomy and blue economy, whilst protecting environmental health and integrity.

They will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach and develop knowledge and innovation systems and distribution of excellence at local, regional, national and European levels. Social innovation with citizens' engagement and trust in innovation will be crucial to encourage new governance, production and consumption patterns.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.5 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.5 – paragraph 1
The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to be carbon neutral and resilient and need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for consumers and improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the food value chain. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns as well as to engage primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services. _________________ 20 SWD(2016) 319 final: European Research and Innovation for Food and Nutrition Security
Amendment 210 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.6 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.6 – paragraph 1
Bio-based innovation lays the foundations for the transition away from a fossil-based economy by encompassing the sustainable sourcing, industrial processing and conversion of biomass from land and sea into bio-based materials and products. It also capitalises on the potential of living resources, life sciences and industrial biotechnology for new discoveries, products and processes. Bio-based innovation, including technologies, can bring new economic activities and employment to regions and cities, contribute to revitalising rural and coastal economies and strengthen the circularity of the bioeconomy. Research in primary production is very important and should be strongly interlinked to industrial processing.
Amendment 219 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.7 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.7 – paragraph 1
Circular production and consumption systems will provide benefits to the European economy by reducing resource dependency and increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, and to European citizens by creating new job opportunities and reducing pressures on the environment and climate. Beyond industrial transformation, the transition to a low-emission, resource efficient and circular economy will also need a broader system shift that requires systemic eco- innovative solutions, new business models, markets and investments, enabling infrastructure, social innovation changes in consumer behaviour, and governance models stimulating multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure that the intended system change achieves better economic, environmental and social outcomes22 , e.g. related sustainable and nutritious food systems, sustainable and healthy living and housing, and energy solutions, and new sustainable materials and products. Opening for international cooperation will be important for comparability, generating and sharing knowledge and avoiding duplication of efforts, e.g. through international initiatives such as the International Resource Panel. _________________ 22 The activities in Circular Systems Area of Intervention are complementary to those of Low-Carbon and Clean Industry in the Digital and Industry cluster.
