Mapping ERC frontier research sustainable food production and consumption
This report outlines the rich diversity of ERC funded projects which are in various ways relevant for the pathways identified in the EU’s Food 2030 research and innovation policy, either through the advancement of our understanding of the underlying causes of the sustainability challenges at hand and/or by proposing concrete solutions for overcoming these, as indicated by many of the examples described above. ERC bottom-up, frontier research is thus instrumental for ensuring that we have cutting edge solutions to the pressing issues that society faces but also for strengthening the science-policy interface by providing a solid evidence basis in the form of new knowledge, concepts, data and methodologies.
