European Commission European Union
The short answer?
A true opportunity for EU:
• Innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers
• Farmers
• Food industry
• Citizens
• Policymakers
To lead the global transition to sustainable food system
The longer answer…
Farm to Fork Strategy: overall goals Reduce the Lead a Tap into Create a robust environmental global transition new and resilient food and climate towards competitive opportunities system footprint of the sustainability from food system farm to fork
F2F: aspirational targets through innovation?

Farm tools for the green Deal
-a farmer’s perspective-
Innovation Conference 21Green Deal Goals & Farm Income
• Profitability and income potential in farming is low
• No green ambition w/o recognition of agriculture
• Assessment of technology on l&s-term farm income
• Farm income is precondition for Green Deal
• Income not only foundation, but also synergy w/ Green Deal
• So let‘s talk about tools for farm income!
32How to strengthen farm income?
• Reduce input & input prices
• Increase output & output prices

33Income & Input
• Sensors, sentinel and big data: science>field…but IP??
• Rural infrastructure as precondition
• Increasing copmlexity of tec and consolidation->competition
• Cooperation for buying and applying
• Agro-ecology and on farm know-how!!
34Income & Output
• max output ≠ max income!
• Breeding and Agro-ecology
• On farm processing
• Cooperation for bargaining power
• Food quality & food waste
• Tec for consumer contact
• Support SME for retail competition
35Example: wireworm & potatos
• Wireworm drills holes into potato
• CS control w/ non target effects
• Few knowledge on lifecycle of worm
• Very sensitive buyers->food waste
Raiffeisen.com, 22.02.2021
36Principles for innovation
• Strenghten self determination of farmers
• Intellectual farm capital & property
• Research & dissemination of non market tools
• Competition, diversity & bargaining power
• Take into account trade w/ non EU countries

Innovation Conference 2021Designing policies to unlock Agri-technologies potential Dr Hanna Schebesta, Associate Professor of Law, Wageningen University & Research
Farm to Fork Strategy (F2F) -
27 legal actions
(See Schebesta & Candel, Nature Food, 2020)
• Systemic Actions (framework law)
• Enabling framework
• Farming
• Food and Health
• Food safety, food quality
• Food fraud, food waste
40Unlocking innovation
through a food
systems perspective
• F2F Strategy characterized by
ad-hoc actions, systemic
approach not elaborated.
• Innovation in the food system
not addressed
41Designing Policy for Innovation:
a food systems perspective
01 Strengthen Innovation Principle in the
F2F Strategy
02 Consider gaps in the F2F Strategy,
address innovation trade-offs
03 Rectify Innovation Disincentives in
System Architecture01 Strengthen Innovation Principle in the Food
System
(Schebesta & van Zeben, on file)
Unclear integration of the innovation principle in EU law, and in the F2F Strategy.
How can the innovation principle be more clearly enshrined in the system?
• Clarify the importance of the Political Innovation Principle (PIP) for the F2F
Strategy
• Ensure application of the PIP for legislation adopted within the F2F Strategy, in particular Better
Regulation Toolbox Tool#21 on Research and Innovation
• Create a clear legal basis of an innovation principle in EU law
• Create a sector-specific anchor of the innovation principle in the overarching legislative framework
for sustainable food systems02
Consider F2F Gaps, address innovation trade-offs
(Schebesta & Candel, 2020)
The F2F Strategy is silent about some legal frameworks.
What are the trade-offs between different societal values?
• Address the EU GMO Framework
• Bio-originalism versus innovation: Carve out a positive space for biotechnologic
innovations
• Reconsider Organic Regulatory Framework
• Tradition versus innovation: E.g. vertical farming not allowed as organic
• Bio-originalism versus innovation: GMO not allowed in the organic regime03
Rectify Innovation Disincentives in System
(Schebesta, on file)
Even if innovations bring benefits to society at large, costs are allocated at
individual company level.
How to encourage innovation through accounting for societal benefits and improve
the cost allocation?
• E.g. improve authorisation procedures & shift cost allocation (can impede
societally relevant innovations)
• Novel food authorisations, financed by applicants
• F2F addresses bio Plant Protection Products (PPP) frameworkQuestions and Discussion Hanna.Schebesta@wur.nl @HannaSchebesta
