Natural Resources, Agrifood and Environment

In the Strategic Area “Natural Resources, Agrifood and Environment”, the aim is to aggregate and enhance the research of excellence and offer innovative solutions to accelerate the transition to the sustainable management of natural resources and food systems (such as biodiversity, water and soils).

The intervention areas focus on the following topics:

  • Environmental observation

  • Biodiversity and Natural Resources

  • Seas, oceans and inland waters

  • Food Systems

  • Bio-based innovation systems in the bioeconomy

  • Circular systems
