This session will build on the recent EC Communication Safeguarding food security and reinforcing the resilience of food systems, while also looking at the wider context of the European Green Deal.
The session will discuss the negative effects of the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine on low-income and food-deficit countries, and how they can be mitigated through science, research and innovation.
The session will explore the urgency to transition towards sustainable and resilient food systems to achieve food security and meet climate, farm-to-fork and biodiversity ambitions in respect of planetary boundaries. The pivotal role of R&I policy as a driver of the much-needed transformation will be set out and will showcase solutions to be deployed and scaled up in the short to medium term.
