Horizon 2020 work programme :
Proposing solutions to global challenges
• Foster resilient and resource efficient primary production and industry as
well as sustainable and healthy consumption. Feed 9 billion people by 2050 by
improving farming and food systems' capacity to sustainably supply sufficient and
healthy food
• Unlock the potential of seas and oceans which cover 70% of the Earth's
surface and host 50% of known species
• Raise the sustainable growth potential of rural areas and their ability to
cope with demographic, climatic and economic change while fostering innovation
and business opportunities for rural and coastal areas through new territorial
approaches and business models
• Re-industrialise Europe through new bio-based value-chains, securing
sustainable biomass

SFS-10-2017: Research and approaches for emerging diseases and pests
in plants and terrestrial livestock (RIA)
Some highlights:
• address as far as possible all components of management in particular with regard to
epidemiology (e.g. source, transmissibility, susceptible species), host-pathogen
interactions, diagnostics, means of prevention and control, as well as risk management
• understand drivers for pest/disease emergence
• improved management of pests/diseases by the farming and forestry sectors
• development of tools for the prevention, detection and diagnosis, of pests/diseases
• improved food quality and food safety
• implementation of EU plant and animal health policies.
SFS-13-2017: Validation of diagnostic tools for animal and
plant health (IA)
Some highlights:
• Harmonise and validate (including through ring trials) existing and new
protocols for the detection and quantification of pathogens and other factors of concern
for the health of plants and terrestrial animals, and correlates of infection/immunity.
• Bringing to the market of end-products, such as swift, portable tools for field-testing
by veterinarians, practitioners and business operators.
SFS-17-2017: Innovations in plant protection (RIA)
Some highlights:
• testing of new products, tools and strategies for integrated pest and disease
management to reduce the use of pesticides in the fruit and vegetable sectors
(including herbs and medical plants)
• introduce novel products with increased specificity and improved environmental
performance
• decrease residue concentrations in fruit and vegetables;
• increase food safety and contribute to human health (consumers and applicators);
• reduce pesticide residues in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, drinking water and
the food chain.
• This is expected to increase consumer trust and fruit and vegetable
consumption.

SFS-35-2017: Innovative solutions for sustainable food
packaging (IA)
Some highlights:
• reduce the environmental footprint of packaging material, increasing the shelf-life
of food and developing food spoilage indicators, and reducing the need for chemical
preservatives while maintaining the nutritional and sensorial properties
• reduced waste in both food and packaging materials, and its negative impacts on
the environment (e.g. resource utilisation, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution)
• strengthening the European food value chain through continued support to product
quality, contributing to consumer trust and increased consumption
• support for the transition from a linear to a circular economy.
SFS-36-2017: Co-fund on "One Health" (zoonoses – emerging
threats) COFUND (EJP)
Some highlights:
• to better understand processes triggering and propagating zoonoses including anti-microbial
resistance, their routing in the animal–human-environment triangle and their impact.
• the main emphasis on food-borne microbial infections and intoxications, including natural toxins
and the risks associated with domesticated and wild animal reservoirs and their exposure routes
towards human infection
• related emerging threats such as antimicrobial resistance will be addressed. In order to
enhance the 'one health' approach to the food chain, important non zoonotic food-borne pathogens
transmitted via the food chain will also be considered.
• to construct a sustainable framework for an integrated community of research groups including
reference laboratories in the fields of life sciences, medicine, veterinary
medicine, animal sciences, food sciences and environmental sciences
SFS-40-2017: Sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (IA)
Some highlights:
• focus on health, obesity and safety aspects
• consider the consumer perceptions and preferences giving proper consideration to
the underlying physiological, psychological and socio-economic drivers
• the toxicological impact of relevant doses, combined effects and the prolonged
use of S&SEs are still unknown and the health-related aspects need further
investigation
• promote healthy diets and contribute to combating obesity
while improving sustainable food security in the EU
• evidence-based policy inputs on health, environmental
and food safety issues.
SFS-46-2017: Alternative production system to address anti-microbial drug
usage, animal welfare and the impact on health (RIA)
Some highlights:
• links between livestock welfare and health, the underlying factors, the related use
of anti-microbial drugs and the subsequent presence of residues in products and their
spread into the environment.
• welfare-friendly production systems (housing, equipment, technology) to improve
farm animal immunity, health and welfare effectively
• reduced veterinary drug use at farm level and reduced residue in animal products
in order to improve food safety and improved biosecurity
at farm level
BG-08-2017: Innovative sustainable solutions for improving the safety and
dietary properties of seafood (IA)
Some highlights:
• mitigate production hazards and environmental damage and secure the economic
viability
• Ensure that eco-innovative solutions for the sustainable production and processing
of marine and aquaculture-derived food products and nutrients as a result of greater
user acceptance
• Improve the competitiveness of the EU seafood sector, and increase opportunities
for growth, diversification and job creation for the sector in general and SMEs in
particular.
• Benefit consumers by allowing them to make better-informed seafood choices.
• Increase the availability of healthier, safer and high quality seafood,
which will improve consumers' diet and health.
SFS-16-2017: Bee health and sustainable pollination (RIA)
Some highlights:
• EFSA and EURL for bee health are addressing more focused aspects of a holistic
risk assessment of multiple stressors in honeybees in the MUST-B project.
• Filling gaps of knowledge on hazards, focusing mainly on (chronic and sub) lethal
effects of mixtures of chemicals on both healthy and infected bees at population and/or
colony levels, while also taking into account the aspect of bee nutrition and its effect on
bee health.
• Provide science- based protocols for improvement of bee regulatory testing schemes.
