Kennisbasis onderzoek (KB)

Het kennisbasisonderzoek legt de basis voor kennis die over drie tot vijf jaar relevant is voor de beleidsterreinen van het ministerie van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit (LNV), zowel voor LNV zelf als voor het bedrijfsleven en andere maatschappelijke stakeholders op het beleidsterrein van LNV.

Circulair en Klimaatneutraal

(KB-34) Circular systems in the blue and green society will close water, nutrient and carbon cycles and from this, minimize resource loss and climate change effects . Integrated systems, making smart connections between terrestrial production cycles (plant and animal based) and marine production cycles, close and strengthen production cycles and networks to replace linear chains. We will develop knowledge to provide the necessary building blocks of such a circular and climate positive society that ensures climate restoration. This includes efficient use of land, water and energy, carbon sequestration, change in consumer behavior, as well as the needed governance structures. Efficiently using resources in the food, feed, chemical and materials industry is crucial, while at the same time preventing losses and accumulation of safety hazards when closing loops.
Voedsel- en waterzekerheid

(KB-35) Focus in this programme is on SDG2 “Zero Hunger”. Extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. About 821 million people are estimated to be chronically undernourished. The aim is to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, by making sure that all people have access to sufficient and nutritious food all year round. The dynamic context of depleting fresh water resources, land and soil degradation and climate change combined with a fast growing and urbanizing population will exacerbate the challenge of achieving SDG2. As most challenges in achieving Zero Hunger lie in low and middle income countries, this programme focusses on these regions. However, some of the research is dedicated to the Netherlands as a strong position on our home market increases our possibilities to achieve our mission.
Biodiversiteit in een natuurinclusieve samenleving

(KB36) Many indicators of our planet’s biodiversity show a decline, whether it’s brackish and marine systems in the Netherlands, common birds in Europe, or insect populations in Germany. Analysis by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity indicates that agriculture accounts for 70% of the projected loss of terrestrial biodiversity. Moreover, according to UNESCO, 60% of the world’s major marine ecosystems that underpin livelihoods have been degraded or are being used unsustainably. We similarly lose landscapes and landscape diversity which provide habitats for all species at an alarming rate. As biodiversity is also a provider of natural capital and ecosystem services, it is a fundamental basis for resilient food, fibre, and biofuel production systems and for improving livelihoods. Given the increasing pressure on land and sea, consequential to an increasing need for food, fibre and energy production, increased urban sprawl, tourism and mobility, exacerbated by effects of climate change , biodiversity needs to be prioritised. The goal of this programme therefore is to understand functioning of ecological systems and to develop and implement systemic solutions to enhance biodiversity while providing for the needs of society.
Gezond en veilig voedselsysteem

(KB-37) Food is a word of only four letters, yet a world in itself. While food is often associated with pleasure, tastiness and social interaction, we also see a growing list of food-related concerns. An alarming increase of obesity and food-related diseases coexist with malnourishment, food safety incidents and food fraud. Additionally, our food consumption patterns are associated with a high environmental impact, such as decrease in biodiversity and climate change. Food has never been studied and discussed as extensively as in current times, yet food trust is at an all-time low level. Local producers with organic and all natural products coexist with large scale industrialized food production. Ongoing trends, such as new disruptive food technologies, online and out of home purchases of meals, food as a lifestyle will change the way we look at food in 2030.
Data driven en High Tech

(KB-38) The future is digital. The digitalisation of society as a whole, including the food producing system (farm to fork) and the natural environment, implies a strong role and impact of data driven & high tech innovations using new technologies, sensors, robotics and artificial intelligence.
