Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)

The Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda is a guiding document for research and innovation within European food systems. The document focuses on promoting sustainable, resilient and inclusive food systems through collaboration between policymakers, researchers, industries and other stakeholders. The SRIA describes strategies and priorities to accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems, including concrete action points and targets to achieve long-term effects.
