Sustainable Food System Partnership
The SFS Partnership aims for the transformation of national, EU and global food systems, making them safe, sustainable, healthy, resilient and trusted – for everyone and within planetary boundaries.
It will bring policymakers, businesses, researchers and civil society to coordinate, align and leverage European and national R&I efforts to future-proof food systems through an integrated and transdisciplinary approach.
The preparatory actions to establish the future Partnership are guided by DG RTD of the European Commission and the SCAR Strategic Working Group Food Systems. Under their supervision, various experts and stakeholders have provided:
- A narrative: the storyline of why a partnership is needed, what it is about, who will be concerned and how it might operate.
- Food 2030 pathways for action 2.0 for the future Partnership.
- A Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), delivered in its final version in January 2023.
