European Commission DG Research is asking for feedback on expected impacts and outcomes for each of nearly 50 thematic and functional clusters etc. of the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme. Deadline for input: 6th May. The themes (called “Destinations”) relevant to nutrient management, in Cluster 6 (Food, bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture, environment): Destination 2 Fair, healthy and environment-friendly food systems from primary production to consumption, Destination 3 Circular economy and bioeconomy sectors, Destination 4 Clean environment and zero pollution. The Commission’s proposals include for Destination 2 “Farmers are enabled with tools, innovations and practices to sustainably manage natural resources (in soil, water, nutrients, biodiversity)” and for Destination 4 “Farmers are empowered to make informed management decisions on water, carbon, nutrients and greenhouse gas balances for environmental and economic sustainability, preventing and reducing pollution from agriculture” and “Advanced water-nutrient-soil management tools that integrate multidimensional data from sampling, remote sensing and other data sources to enable context-specific decision making at farm level”. For each Destination, there is a specific survey (you are invited to respond to more than one survey) with one or two tables to select priorities between proposed impacts and outcomes, plus possibility to submit short comments (300 – 1500 characters).
