Objective

The primary aim of funding the ‘Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology’ research theme under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) is to build a European Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (KBBE).

The ‘Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology’ theme is built around three major activities’:

• sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest and aquatic environments (PDF);
• fork to farm: Food (including seafood), health and well-being (PDF);
• life sciences, biotechnology and biochemistry for sustainable non-food products and processes. (PDF)
