GLOBAL FOOD INNOVATION FORUM
Why a Global Innovation Forum in Campania? Few sectors such as agriculture and agri-food are at the center of the challenges imposed by the "next normal" that we expect in post-Covid. Innovation trends are here and the pandemics made it almost impossible to underestimate their impactb on the entire food value-chain. Campania Region is the second biggest spender of EARDF in Italy and one of the biggest player at EU level. The international reputation and image of Campania is still now built upon food excellence (pizza, mozzarella cheese, and so on). This makes necessary to link the agricultural and fisheries system to broaden the perspectives that guide the investments in research and innovation funded by the EARDF to increase complementarity of funds (public and private, European and regional, linked to traditional finance or alternative forms of finance) and on the ability to look far and to focus on better dialogue between the current and future beneficiaries of EARDF funds to support innovation and the major game changers in the rural supply chains and territories. Deep transformations in the rural, agricultural and fisheries sectors ask for a deep dive in the new challenges of food security, food safety and food economic, environmental and social sustainability.
The Global Innovation Forum combines inputs from Future Food Institute, EIP Agri, ERIAFF, the cross-KIC Food 4Health and it is scientifically coordinated by the ERASMUS+ Knowledge Alliance ASKFOOD. It’s a bet on the future, but also – and maybe more – on our present.
The overall aim is to promote Communities of Practices and Innovation Communities that can interlink the AKISs supportaed by the EARDF with National and EU Knowledge, Technology and Innovation Cluster.
We will benefit from the dialogue with FAO, DG Research, EIT, DG Agri, DG Employment, FED, Federalimentare, Federpesca, Coldiretti, Confapi, Confagricoltura, EIP AGRI, PRIMA, the National Tech Cluster for Agrifood (CLAN) and the National Committee on Bioeconomy. By conveying EU, national and regional policy makers from 8 different EU regions and by activating a multi-actor and multi-programme discourse on the future of agriculture (15 Managing Authorities of ERDF, ESF and EARDF will join the Forum), the Global Food Innovation Forum will also help drafting synergies among programmes and integrated investment schemes that can redesing the policy for skills and innovation related to the future of food. Startups and innovators from all over Europe will present solutions for the post-Covid food competitiveness.
