The European Commission has adopted a Communication on a new Strategic Approach to Research and Innovation for agriculture, forestry, rural areas and food systems, bringing together two frameworks, AgRI 2040 and Food 2040. The strategy will guide EU-funded research under Horizon Europe 2028-2034, with a stronger focus on moving innovations such as diversified protein sources from research to market.

The strategy emphasises bringing researchers, businesses and end users together to co-create and test solutions in real-world conditions, with particular focus on diversifying protein supply and investing in open-access biomanufacturing infrastructure for start-ups.
An initial AgRI 2040 conference takes place in Brussels on 24-25 September, ahead of more precise action areas to be defined by the end of 2027.
