Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, Biotechnology:
Objectives
Build a European Knowledge-Based BioEconomy (KBBE)
Respond to social and economic
challenges
Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in
research
Support CAP and CFP
Respond quickly to emerging research
needs
2. Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and
Biotechnology
Sustainable production and management of biological resources
from land, forest, and aquatic environments
“Fork to farm”: Food, health and well being
Life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable
non-food products and processes
Fisheries research areas
• Ecosystem approach to Fisheries Management:
– The impact of fishing in the environment
– Governance: Operational/Regional approach
• Scientific Basis of Fisheries Management:
– Instruments: Effort and capacity management,
– Governance: Addressing uncertainty and complexity
– Knowledge base: Genetic structure of fish populations; causes of
variation in abundance estimates,
– Specific management areas: Deep sea fisheries management;
Improving research in support to scientific advice to fisheries
management outside EU waters (networking)
• The economics and social aspects of fisheries:
– Improving cost-efficiency in fisheries
• Evaluation of fisheries management regimes, MPAs, gear selectivity
and other well covered areas in FP 6 not likely to be covered i the
first calls
Aquaculture research areas
• Essential Biological Functions
• Ecosystem approach to aquaculture:
– Reduce the impact on the environment
– Promote less intensive systems
– Coastal zone management, site planning

•
Overcoming capture based aquaculture
Better cooperation with Third countries
Aquaculture Health (preventive measures)
Microbial control in aquaculture
Shellfish culture
Other generic topics: Genomics, Health (animals include fish!)
Welfare, Feeds, Breeding and other well covered areas in FP 6 not
likely to be covered in first calls.
• CAPACITY  New species/new technologies: SMEs measures!
Food/Non-Food research
areas
• Seafood:
– First calls generic approach to all food (including
seafood!) items, but there are many opportunities
(e.g. effects of diet on mental performance and on
aging; food and feed technology)
– More specific topics in the future supporting
risk/benefit analysis of seafood consumption
• “Blue Biotechnology”:
– First calls generic approach to all living resources but
topics include reference to aquatic organisms and
aquaculture
– Some specific topics expected for the future
