Activities
FACCE-JPI has organised its activities under the Core research Themes in the Strategic Research Agenda. The current themes are:
CT1: Sustainable food security under climate change, based on an integrated food systems perspective: modelling, benchmarking and policy research perspective
CT2: Environmentally sustainable growth and intensification of agricultural systems under current and future climate and resource availability
CT3: Assessing and reducing trade-offs between food production, biodiversity and ecosystem services
CT4: Adaptation to climate change throughout the whole food chain, including market repercussions
CT5: Greenhouse gas mitigation: nitruous oxide and methane mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sector, carbon sequestration, fossil fuel substitution and mitigating GHG emissions induced by indirect land use change
The Core Themes are currently being updated.
Joint Actions
Mapping exercises
In 2011- 2012, The JPI organised a series of mapping meetings that further determined the scope of each Core Theme (CT) of the SRA. All results were brought together in a Broad-Based Concluding meeting. You can find the reports of the other meetings here:
- CT1 - Sustainable Food Security under Climate Change
- CT2 - Environmentally sustainable growth and intensification of agriculture
- CT3 - Assessing trade-offs between food production, biodiversity & ecosystems services
- CT4 - Adaptation to climate change
- CT5 - Mitigation of climate change
