The Bioeconomy Expert Working Group has published a position paper, Food Systems Research to Positively Impact the Sustainable Bioeconomy and Transformation of Smart Food Systems – An Overview of Gaps and Future Research Agenda.
The paper discusses the bioeconomy and smart systems in food giving a summary of the key impact areas. It covers recent research into relevant areas and on policy and government strategy. In addition, a new perspective on the landscape of funded projects in the areas of bioeconomy and smart systems is presented. This aims to identify key gaps in funding which, if addressed, could provide important advances in addressing food sustainability, consumer diets, and improved agricultural efficiency. This paper offers a valuable evidence base for shaping strategic investment decisions. Thanks to the members of the working group, and SFN knowledge exchange lead Paulina Flores Martínez for their work in producing this paper. Read more |
