Created in an interdisciplinary, enthusiastic, creative and positive atmosphere, in the modern research landscape. FOOD SECURITY, SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, (knowledge, products, and behaviour) that is closely associated MARINE AND MARITIME RESEARCH AND THE BIO-ECONOMY with culturally determined dietary habits and lifestyle, clearly call- The complexity of the challenges related to food, feed and biomass ing for cross-cutting approaches between the challenges of food, production and the associated multi-directional value chain from health and social science. Research from a broader food and primary production to the needs and opportunities from climate bio-economy perspective must be strengthened by applying cutting- change and its mitigation, available resources, environment, new edge research results and technology platforms from other areas, biomaterials, energy, food, feed, health, transport, and new bio- such as molecular biology, nanotechnology and information and materials perspectives calls for an interactive and multidisciplinary communications technology (ICT). This should be combined with cross-cutting research and innovation approach that embraces the the application of mathematical and computer modelling in order other fi ve defi ned societal challenges. It is critical that research and to meet the global challenge to produce signifi cantly more per unit innovation in this area are addressed in a fully integrated manner, of a given resource. Processing of food, feed, and the biomass in including social science and humanities perspectives at all points cascade must involve to a much greater extent multidisciplinary along the food value chain in order to realise the huge potential approaches to fully integrate requirements for minimal energy con- of challenge-driven and interactive innovations.
