Cooperation between the Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) and Selected Third Countries Niels Gotke Chair, FACCE-JPI Governing Board 1 FACCE-JPI Vision and Mission Vision: An integrated European Research Area that addresses the challenges of Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change to achieve sustainable growth in agricultural production, meet increasing food demand and develop a European bio-based economy, while maintaining and restoring ecosystem services under climate change Mission: To promote the integration and alignment of national research resources in Europe under a common research strategy, to address the diverse challenges in agriculture, food security and climate change The FACCE-JPI Thematic Scope lies at the nexus of agriculture, food security and climate change 2 22 Participating Countries 17 EU Member States + 4 Associated Countries+ 1 Third Country Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Ireland Israel New Zealand Italy The Netherlands Norway Poland Romania Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey UK Cyprus 3 FACCE-JPI’s Strategic Research Agenda: 5 Core Themes 4 Overview of FACCE-JPI activities (1) 9 ongoing joint actions+ 1 under development 53 collaborative research projects Core Theme 1. Food security under climate change Core Theme 2. Sustainable intensification of agriculture Core Theme 3. Biodiversity & ecosystem services Core Theme 4. Adaptation to climate change Knowledge Hub on modelling the impacts climate change on food security (MACSUR) - partnerhsip with AgMip (€15M, 300 researchers) Knowledge Network on sustainable intensification Joint call with the BiodivERsA ERANET (€10.2M) FACCE ERA-NET + on Climate Smart Agriculture (€19M*) International call (Collaborative Research Action) on food security and land use change with the Belmont Forum (Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, S. Africa, USA) (€5.3M) FACCE ERA-NET Cofund on Sustainable agriculture for food and nonfood systems (SURPLUS) with New Zealand (€15M) Thematic Annual Programming Network on organic matter sequestration in ag. soils + Exploratory workshops (on food and nutrition security, ICT, biorefinery, etc.) * Committed budgets ERANET Cofund with Water JPI on sustainable water management in agriculture (WATERWORKS 2015) with Canada, Egypt, Taiwan, S. Africa, Tunisia (now AC) (€26M*) Core Theme 5. GHG mitigation in agriculture Multipartner call on agricultural GHG mitigation with 3 GRA countries (USA, Canada, New Zealand)(€5.5M) FACCE ERA-NET Cofund on monitoring and mitigation of agricultural GHG (ERAGAS) with New Zealand (€14M*) Modalities for cooperation with third countries 1. Participation in a FACCE-JPI joint research action (e.g., call for research; ERA-NET, researchers’ network) requires: A mutual interest in a given theme/ topic Commitment on the part of the third country Available national funding (in-cash and/or in-kind) to participate 2. Adhesion to the JPI via « Associate Membership » requires: Strong commitment to the FACCE-JPI Vision and Mission (formal request to join the Governing Board) A history of successful cooperation Interest and means of getting involved in more than one joint action 6 Areas for cooperation at joint action level • All joint research actions are potentially open to third countries • Likely thematic priorities of FACCE-JPI in 2018-2020: Soil-food security-climate change (with GRA, 4/1000 initiative?) Food and nutrition security (with JPI HDHL and JPI Oceans) Digital agriculture, incl. precision agriculture (with ICT Agri ERA-NET, the International Bio-economy Forum?) • Cross-cutting priority: Consolidation, dissemination and valorisation of FACCE-JPI scientific results, including at policy level • Implementation Plan for 2018-2020 to be elaborated in 2017 (based on the updated Strategic Research Agenda) 7 Expected benefits For Third Countries For FACCE-JPI Member-Countries • Entry point into the EU research and innovation landscape • Greater impact and visibility internationally • FACCE-JPI is the leading European initiative on agriculture-food securityclimate change • Increased research structuring and cost-efficiency to address complex societal challenges • Ability to reach out to 22 countries • Strengthened science diplomacy • Flexible mechanism with variable geometry/ voluntary participation • EU “Open to the World” priority • Access to FACCE-JPI’s European and international partners • Access to new research data and methods Possible challenge: Inter-operability between research funding rules; different timing 8 Thank you for you attention!
