Food security, sustainable agriculture and maritime research and the bioeconomy – Call for Proposals

The European Commission is now accepting proposals to four different calls addressing all the bioeconomy sectors. The overall objective is to help set Europe on a solid basis to sustain food security, the natural resource base and sustainable growth path, adapting and innovating to find resilient and efficient alternatives to our fossil-based economy. The Sustainable Food Security (SFS) call includes topics such as ‘Public-Public Partnerships in the bioeconomy’ and ‘Socio-eco-economics – socio-economics in ecological approaches’. The call Blue Growth has ‘The effect of climate change on Arctic permafrost and its socio-economic impact’ among its topics. The call Rural Renaissance explores issues such as ‘Novel public policies, business models and mechanisms for the sustainable supply of and payment for forest ecosystem services’ and ‘Business models for modern rural economies’. Finally, the call Bio-based innovation for sustainable goods and services includes ‘Strategies for improving the bioeconomy knowledge of the general public’.
