Health and Food Research Infrastructure landscape keeps evolving Sustainable and healthy food Global demand for food is predicted to increase 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050 Global food security crisis - direct impact on and by Europe s population and economy Europe Crops yield declined in the past 20y Extreme climatic events (2003) led to 36 bn Euros in economic losses for the agriculture sector * Impact on environment - crops and livestock production increases CO2 emissions in EU and elsewhere; impact on land. Marine sustainability Nutritional and health benefits of foods, and making it accessible and affordable, globally Unlocking non-food systems: biorenewables, bioenergy, bioeconomy We need to produce more food, using less water, energy and chemical inputs *FAO How to Feed the World by 2050; IPCC, 2007 Strategic Working Group Health & Food
