Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda for Organics and agroecology
Get PDFTP Organics is one of the 40 European Technology Platforms recognized by the European Commission. Since 2007, TP Organics has been shaping research and innovation agendas to advocate for more sustainable food and farming systems in Europe based on organic and agroecological principles.
The research priorities outlined in this publication are the result of intensive discussions, workshops and consultations that TP Organics held in 2018–2019. The priorities are the reflection of the knowledge and innovation needs of farmers, processors, companies, and civil society groups. They are eager to work with researchers and transform the food and farming systems of Europe.
Our food and farming systems need to be climate-neutral, circular, diverse and fair. They need to be prepared for the rapid digitalisation of our economies, which brings new opportunities but also comes with risks. To achieve this, all actors need to change the way we produce and consume our food. Policy makers have a crucial role to play in this transformation. Their role is to ensure a common, integrated and holistic approach to food policy. An approach that has a long-term vision for the future, harmonizes goals, strategies and actions across sectors1, prioritizes investment for public goods and engages diverse actors in making this happen.
TP Organics is convinced that research and innovation on organics and agroecology can enable the transition of our food systems towards a more sustainable future for all. The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda shows concrete research areas and priorities that need to receive proper support at EU level, in particular through Horizon Europe, the European Partnerships and Missions as well as EIP-AGRI, in order to leverage the potential of organics and agroecology
