EU - FP 7 Theme 2: Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology - Building a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE)

Framework


Initiator: Funding programmes:
Building a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy1 by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders, to exploit new and emerging research opportunities that address social, environmental and economic challenges: the growing demand for safer, healthier, higher quality food and for sustainable use and production of renewable bio-resources; the increasing risk of epizootic and zoonotic diseases and food related disorders; threats to the sustainability and security of agricultural, aquaculture and fisheries production; and the increasing demand for high quality food, taking into account animal welfare and rural and coastal contexts and response to specific dietary needs of consumers.
