Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition – An Interdisciplinary Challenge for Scientists, Policy Makers, Industry and Society

Population growth, changing life-styles, circular economy, climate change... How can we provide the world’s population with asustainably produced, safe and healthy diet?

Founded in 2012 the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition' pools the competence of thus far 15 Leibniz institutes of natural, social and life sciences as well as engineering and economics. Two societal challenges are in focus: sustainable food production and healthy nutrition. The Research Alliance aims at developing production systems that take into account ecological, social and economic sustainability.

Scientists of the partner institutes of the Research Alliance will explore the effects of food on human health, the dietary habits of consumers as well as the connections between sustainable food production and healthy nutrition.

In order to address these complex issues the Research Alliance employs a systemic, interdisciplinary and transfer-oriented approach: from cell to world economy, from producer to consumer.

Foreword

Improved access to healthy nutrition and food security for a growing world population are essential tasks for the future. In 2050, according to the United Nations, our world will have to feed a population of over 9 billion. Hence, it is an essential question how policy makers, industry and society strive for an efficient, resour-ce-conserving and evenly distributed global community. In order to find solutions and answers, leading scientists of different disciplines have joined forces in the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition'. Its partners offer and com-bine their respective expertise in economics, agricultural, social, life and natural sciences. Such broad competence is needed to address this common topic.

The special link of research topics addressed by nutrition and food research on the one hand and agricultural as well as environ-mental research on the other hand corresponds to the cooperative and interdisciplinary approach of the Leibniz Research Alliances.

I look forward to the joint efforts and discoveries!

Network – Knowledge – Future

Finding solutions to the urgent questions in the area of food pro-duction and healthy nutrition requires interdisciplinary scientific action. These challenges are closely related to dwindling resources, protection of the environment, increasing food demand, climate change, as well as economic and political decisions. This complex reality can only be addressed by joint interdisciplinary research.

Thus, renowned scientists of different disciplines of 15 institutes of the Leibniz Association work together in the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition'.

It is an essential aim of the Research Alliance to promote the discourse between scientists, political decision makers and repre-sentatives from industry and society, on the basis of discoveries from science and research. The transfer of knowledge fostered by the Research Alliance will strengthen the awareness of these global challenges. It will contribute to the political debate and facilitate informed decision making – in order to assume responsibility for future generations.

Research Goals and Tasks

Ensuring food security is one of the main global challenges of the 21st century. It is also subject to ever changing framework condi-tions. From a research perspective, in order to warrant sufficient production of high-quality food that meets the requirements of sustainable production, a systemic observation of the entire value chain is inevitable. Providing society with healthy and safe food is a second challenge. For this purpose it is necessary to analyse the effects of food on health, as well as to understand dietary patterns and specific consumer behaviour. Numerous connections and inter-relations link both challenges.

Increased and enhanced networking between Leibniz research institutes of the Research Alliance, universities and other national and international partners will lead to the development of innova-tive solutions. The research results will be made accessible to the general public.

1. Setting up a Thematic NetworkThe aim is to link the partners of the Research Alliance with each

other, as well as with external partners on a national and interna-tional level, to combine competences and stimulate the scientific discourse. Promising young scientists of the partner institutes will get the opportunity to be part of the thematic network. The Leibniz Research Alliance serves as joint platform for the presentation of recent initiatives and projects of the partners and the development of interdisciplinary solutions.

2. Setting up Joint ProjectsIn order to address important scientific questions, the Research

Alliance initiates and fosters Research Alliance projects that address interdisciplinary scientific questions of strategic importance. It aims at setting up innovative joint research projects in the fields of sustainable food production and healthy nutrition. These projects will be supported from the initial stages of the project proposals to the presentation of the research findings to the general public.

3. Transfer of KnowledgeThe combined expertise, as well as the results of joint research

projects of the Research Alliance, will be made accessible to the general public via various channels. Public events, panel discussi-ons at the annual Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) in Berlin and international conferences are some examples. This will encourage the discourse between scientists, political decision makers and representatives from industry and civil society.

Research Questions – Competences – Solutions

The following questions and challenges are essential for the Research Alliance:

• How can we provide the world‘s population with sustainably produced, healthy and safe food?

• How can science contribute to a healthier nutrition status of the population?

• How do sustainable food production and health influence each other?

The 15 partner institutes of the Research Alliance address these questions and challenges in a systemic, interdisciplinary and trans-fer-oriented way.

A major cross-cutting theme of the Research Alliance is the research on protein supply and consumption under the conditions of climate change. This implies investigations on sustainable protein production systems for the supply of food and feed, on protein food security, on the value chain of animal-based as well as plant-based protein-rich products, on food safety and on human health. The Research Alliance fosters the career development of post-doctoral scientists of its partner institutes in the interdisciplinary project Protein Paradoxes: Protein supply under the conditions of clima-te change – production, consumption and human health.

In addition to this important cross-cutting theme, the Research Alliance works in five scientific areas. The five research areas will be outlined and described in more detail on the following pages.

9

Nutrition and Health

The research area 'Nutrition and Health' focuses on the import-ance of an adequate age-based diet for a healthy life and ageing. This includes, inter alia, the development of customised food, the analysis of dietary and consumer habits and the biological basis of food choice.

1010

Food Security as a Global Challenge

Research in this area addresses global food security within the context of qualitative and quantitative challenges of food and feed production. With consideration of region specific parameters, research at global level will continue to find solutions that ensure access to nutritious, high-quality and affordable food for the entire population.

1111

Sustainable Agriculture and 'Agriculture 4.0'

For the successful development of sustainable agricultural production systems - taking into account ecological, economic and social aspects, an intensive interdisciplinary exchange is needed.

The innovation initiative 'Agriculture 4.0' of the Leibniz Research Alliance develops smart solutions for sustainable farming systems with an emphasis on sensor-technology, linking the agriculture with the food sector.

12

Food Quality and Food Safety

In order to provide high-quality and safe food for consumers world-wide, scientists of this research area develop innovative and intelligent techniques and infrastructures along the value chain. These innovations will increase animal welfare as well as consumer protection. Central research tasks of this area include the analysis of plant compounds and the optimisation of feed and food quality.

13

Consumption and Agricultural Markets

The food markets‘ development worldwide is affected by a num-ber of variables. Consumption patterns and consumer preferences change in the course of economic development, just as the focus of EU and worldwide agricultural, environmental and food policies change. The influence of processors and distributors on agricultural and food markets increases. In view of these considerations, the research area analyses the multiple direct and indirect relations and feedbacks between the different actors and their respective decisions.

German Research Centre for Food Chemistry (DFA), FreisingDFA works on the characterisation of odour- and taste-active

compounds, which contribute to the quality of food. It conducts studies on the molecular basis of the human sense of smell and taste and analyses the health and technological relevance of grain. The DFA publishes extensive tables of food composition and nutrition.

German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE)

Scientists at DlfE deploy a broad scientific, medical and epide-miological range of methods to investigate the causes and conse-quences of the metabolic syndrome. They also examine the role of nutrition in healthy ageing as well as the biological basis of food selection and eating habits.

Partner Institutes of the Research Alliance

The Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition' meets the challenges of a complex world in which food production and nutrition are closely associated with a circular economy, climatic conditions, sustainable management of natural resources, responsible digitisation and responsible inter-action with nature. The Research Alliance is a strategic research network established within the Leibniz Association. Renowned scientists of 15 Leibniz research institutes with expertise along the food and feed value chains work together in this interdiscipli-nary scientific network. The scientific background of the Research Alliance partners ranges from natural, social and life sciences to en-gineering and economics. Maintaining an intense exchange, scien-tists join forces to tackle societal challenges such as food security, health, environmental and climate protection. Outlined below is a short portrait of the 15 Leibniz research institutes that are partners in the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition'.
