Food 2030 pathways for action 2.0
Research and innovation policy as a driver for sustainable, healthy, climate resilient and inclusive food systems
This publication frames the deployment phase of the European Commission’s Food 2030 initiative and is meant to guide future research and innovation policy reflections relevant to Horizon Europe, the Farm to Fork strategy and European Green Deal, and beyond.
The new version of the report, updated in 2023, sets out 11 pathways for action where research and innovation can concretely deliver co-benefits related to nutrition, climate, circularity and communities, at multiple levels: from local to international. It also underlines that a systemic interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to research and innovation is crucial for success and improved impact. Transformations are not only technical and academic; they also encompass social, legal, economic, financial, ethical and philosophical dimensions, which need to be fully embedded in future R&I policy and programmes.
