Outline:
1-FACCE-JPI remit and governance
2- Implementing the FACCE Strategic
Research Agenda (SRA)
1- FACCE-JPI remit: great
challenges and governance
A perfect storm
• A "perfect storm" of food shortages, scarce water and insufficient energy
resources threaten to unleash public unrest, cross-border conflicts and
mass migration as people flee from the worst-affected regions.
• Prof. John Beddington, UK Chief Scientific Adviser
European and global challenge
Food Security
The looming crisis
Global shortage of food, water and energy
- global wheat stocks at lowest since 1970s
- price spikes, food riots in 2007-08
Stock to use ratio, % of all grains and oilseeds
Source: Thirtle, unpublished
Food price rises in 2007/08
Some causes
• Low global stocks
• Increased demand: biofuels
• Harvest failures
Future drivers
• Increased cost of fuel/ fertiliser
• Lack of agriculture R&D
investment
• Climate change
• Population and income growth
• Biofuels
Two Goals of Our Time
1.
Achieving Food Security
– 1 billion hungry
– Food production to increase 70% by 2050
– Adaptation to Climate Change and dwindling natural resources critical
2.
Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change
–
”2 degree goal” requires major emission cuts
–
Agriculture and Land use = 30% of emissions...
–
...and needs to be part of the solution
New and strong emphasis on agricultural research is vital for
sustainable global development
Joint Programming
• Addressing major societal challenges that cannot be solved solely
on the national level, and allowing Member States to participate
in those joint initiatives where it seems useful for them
(voluntary participation with variable geometry)
• Benefits of research are not optimised due to
compartmentalisation of public research funding in the EU
• Aligning national programmes to minimise duplications, bring
critical mass, best use limited financial resources
• Identify national priorities and provide coherence between
Member States
• New ways of working together

A three stage process
1. Development of a Common Vision with long term objectives
How cooperation and coordination of research at EU level can
address the combined challenges of food security against the
continuous threat represented by various scenarios of climate
change, global population growth and food / non-food
demand
2. Translate it into a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA)
Establishing medium to long-term research needs and
objectives in the area of food security through adaptation to
and mitigation of climate change in agriculture
3. SRA implementation
identifying and exchanging information; joint foresight and
technology assessment; joint research activities/modalities;
infrastructure; EU/global aspects; public-private partnerships;
needs of consumers and industry

2- Implementing the FACCE Strategic
Research Agenda (SRA)
Strategic Research Agenda
Launched December 5, 2012
• Based on Scientific Research Agenda
• One integrated document taking into account:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Vision paper
Stakeholder Consultation
Meetings with funders and scientists: Mapping meetings
Workshop with ERA-NETs
Detailed discussions of core themes: SAB + invited experts
Foresight (SCAR)
Inputs of GB and Advisory Boards
• 5 core research themes with short-, medium- and longterm actions
• Available
5 core-themes:
1• Sustainable food security under climate change, based on an integrated
food systems perspective: modelling, benchmarking and policy research
perspective
2• Environmentally sustainable growth and intensification of agricultural
systems under current and future climate and resource availability
3• Assessing and reducing trade-offs between food production, biodiversity
and ecosystem services
4• Adaptation to climate change throughout the whole food chain, including
market repercussions
5• Greenhouse gas mitigation: nitrous oxide and methane mitigation in the
agriculture and forestry sector, carbon sequestration, fossil fuel substitution
and mitigating GHG emissions induced by indirect land use change
Towards Implementation
of the SRA (1) : Joint Actions
• Pilot Action: MACSUR (CT1)
• International Call on GHG Mitigation (with USA,
Canada, New Zealand) (CT5): launched January 28th
2013
• ERANET Plus on « Climate Smart Agriculture: Adaption
of Agricultural Systems in Europe » (CT4)
• International call with the Belmont Forum on « Food
Security and Land Use Change» (CT1) : launch foreseen
July 2013
• Possible Joint call with ERA-Net BiodivERsA on
Agriculture and Biodiversity (CT3)
Towards Implementation
of the SRA (2) :
• Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on Alignment
-> Outputs: 4 alignment categories
• Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on ERA-Nets
and Horizon2020
• Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on
Implementation -> Outputs: topics submitted to the EC
for 1st work programme of H2020
• Alignment and Implementation Working Groups
meeting (May 28th):
Implementation Plan (2013-2015) to be adopted in
June
Method for establishing an Implementation plan:
Alignment categories
-
-
A cross-cutting approach between:
Short-term priorities in each core theme
X
National programmes, mapped and
distributed within alignment categories
Much research/all or many countries  Alignment, e.g. through Knowledge
Hubs
Avoid duplication, create critical mass, data and model sharing
2. Some research/ some countries  Alignment at thematic or geographic level
Enhance regional or thematic clusters, capacity building
3. Lack of research  New calls (H2020, ERA-NETs, new transnational calls)
Strengthen European research effort, create synergy
4. Emerging research topics  Ideas lab, workshops
Enhance innovation and breakthrough technologies
