Research problems linked to this topic
- How can we optimise the food system to support future food production and consumption sustainably whilst reducing environmental impacts?
- Develop innovative technologies and foster industry and business engagement to support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, offshore energy production, maritime transport, carbon sequestration, and recreation
- What data and evidence are needed to inform policy and delivery and what are the best sources to meet these needs? How can we improve broad access to this data and enhance knowledge exchange across the agri-food industry?
- Improve fish stock assessments over a greater range of species and improve management of freshwater, migratory, and marine fisheries, and protected species
- How do we respond effectively to challenges including a rapidly growing population, changing consumption trends, finite land use, resource constraints, changing climate, globalised markets, and black swan events such as COVID-19 all of which impact on food and farming system security and supply chain resilience?
- How can we best supply healthy safe sustainable affordable food that commands consumer confidence and meets the needs of all consumers (including vulnerable groups)?
- Integrate fisheries monitoring in a systems approach to manage and maintain sustainable productivity. Integrate marine planning systems to protect habitats and species, and reduce the industry’s costs to enable economic development
- Assess socio-economic information to support and incentivise a change to secure the long-term sustainability of seafood exploitation whilst reducing the environmental impact of exploitation
- What capability and capacity in the food and farming industry is needed to deliver future rural community policy needs?
- How do we minimize the risk of plant and animal disease import to the UK as traded products change, and as the UK goes through a period of significant change in its international trading arrangements post-EU and post COVID-19?
- How do we future proof farming and food chains to global shocks? What is the potential for wild relatives, landraces, and orphan varieties to increase diversity and enhance resilience?
