European partnership for a sustainable Future of Food Systems

Project description

DE EN ES FR IT PL

European alliance for sustainable food systems

The future health of European people and the planet lies on our plate. Horizon Europe’s Cluster 6 2023-2024 work programme aligns with key EU and world policies and strategies on food systems. The EU-funded FutureFoodS project, created under the Horizon Europe work programme, aims to mobilise European research and innovation to accelerate the transition from linear food chains to circular food systems, functioning within planetary boundaries. This includes current types of production, processing, distribution, and consumption. A wide range of stakeholders will join forces to build a sustainable, interconnected and territorialised European food system by 2050. FutureFoodS will bring together 86 partners from 29 countries including national and regional authorities, funding agencies, universities, research institutes, foundations, and competitiveness clusters.

Objective

The vision of FutureFoodS is to collectively achieve environmentally-friendly, socially secure, fair and economically viable healthy and safe Food Systems (FS) for Europe. FutureFoodS gather 87 partners from 22 EU Member States, 6 Associated Countries and 1 third country. FutureFoodS includes public and private actors, policy makers, foundations, locally, sub-nationally, nationally, EU-widely.
All these FutureFoodS partners are fully aligned on the vision for the Partnership and the methodology for its implementation in line with SDG17 and EU Green Deal components.
This vision has been broken down into general (GO), specific (SO) and operational (OO) objectives applying across the 4 R&I areas and 4 transversal activities identified by the FutureFoods consortium in its stable draft Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) which constitutes the strategic backbone of the project.
The four GO cover: GO1 - Functioning of FS; GO2 - System approaches; GO3 - Inclusive government; GO4 - Co-creation cases.
These GO have then been translated into SO prioritised in line with the timescale and resources of the Partnership: SO1 - Change the way we eat; SO2- Change the way we process and supply food, SO3 - Change the way we connect with FSs and SO4 - Change the way we govern FS.
In addition, 6 interconnected OO have been set: OO1- Pooling R&I resources and programming; OO2 - Operational FS Observatory; OO3 - Active FS knowledge Hub of FS Labs; OO4 - Functioning knowledge sharing and scaling mechanisms; OO5- Revisiting the SRIA; OO6 - Promoting, supporting, widening & gathering FS various communities.
The objectives implemented in the 8 WPs of FutureFoodS will exert impact directly or indirectly in most of the destinations of Horizon Europe’s Cluster 6 2023-2024 work programme and particularly for the topic destination ‘Fair, healthy and environment-friendly FS from primary production to consumption’ echoing to the main EU and World FS policies & strategies.
