Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3
Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3
Health research and innovation research and innovation have played a significant part in this achievement but also in improving productivity and quality in the health and care industry. However, the EU continues to face novel, newly emerging or persisting challenges that are threatening its citizens and public health, the sustainability of its health care and social protection systems, as well as the competitiveness of its health and care industry. Major health challenges in the EU include: the lack of effective health promotion and disease prevention; the rise of non-communicable diseases; the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance and the emergence of infectious epidemics; increased environmental pollution; poor diets and malnutrition; the persistence of health inequalities among and within countries affecting disproportionally people that are disadvantaged or in vulnerable stages of life; the detection, understanding, control, prevention and mitigation of health risks in a rapidly changing social, urban and natural environment; the increasing costs for European health care systems and the progressive introduction of personalised medicine approaches and digitalisation in health and care; and the increasing pressure on the European health and care industry to remain competitive in and by developing health innovation vis-a-vis new and emerging global players.

Amendment 112 #
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, nutritious 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 social 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.
Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 4
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 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 support identifying solutions to boost the multi functionality of European agriculture and to strengthen the production of local food.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 5
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 5
They will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach and develop knowledge and innovation systems at local, regional, national and European levels. Social innovation with citizens' engagement and trust in innovation and food systems - through an increasing transparency of the food chain - will be crucial to encourage new governance, production and consumption patterns.
Amendment 135 #

Amendment 148 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.3 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.3 – paragraph 1
Resilient and sustainable farming and forestry systems provide economic, environmental and social benefits in a changing context for primary production. In addition to contributing toensuring food and nutrition security, they feed into dynamic value chains, manage land and natural resources as well as deliver a range of vital public goods including carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, pollination and public health. Integrated approaches are needed to promote the multiple functions of agro- and forest (eco)systems taking into account the changing context for primary production, notably in relation to climate and environment, resource availability, competitiveness, demography and consumption patterns. It is also necessary to address the spatial and socio-economic dimension of agriculture and forestry activities and mobilise the potential of rural areas, according to the main objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy.

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 largelypatterns are to some extent unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy, diverse, affordable and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, economic and environmental 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 producers and 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 towards nutritious and healthy diets, 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 212 #
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 and agricultural 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.
