VTT, the universities of Helsinki, Turku and Eastern Finland, the Natural Resources Institute Finland, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, and the Finnish Food Safety Authority set the direction for food research, which aims is to make Finland a key player in the transition to a healthy and sustainable global food system. At the same time, new opportunities for economic growth are being created in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>Finland\u2019s food research missions for 2035:<br \/>\n1. All Finnish citizens can follow a healthy, safe and sustainable diet.<br \/>\n2. The Finnish food system is based on sustainable, flexible, and competitive food and feed production.<br \/>\n3. The food system is resource efficient and waste-free.<br \/>\n4. Finland is a pioneer and runs pilots on research, innovations and new operating methods that aim for a sustainable food system.<\/p>\n<p>The strategic plans include pathways for changes towards a healthy and sustainable food system, which leads to the well-being of society, economic growth, and offers growth opportunities for Finnish food producers and the food industry that are based on scientific knowledge and food innovations. There is a need to better combine the expertise of different scientific disciplines and to intensify cooperation between research organisations. Communication between the public administration and the research community also needs to be improved.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy working group proposes the establishment of the Finnish Food Research Forum to promote research and education to increase interdisciplinary discussion, to define common impact objectives and to create joint projects and research infrastructures. At the moment lack of a national research agenda, funding and interdisciplinary research have been recognized as weaknesses. It is important to emphasize trustful research communication and dialogue about role of policies and legislation in renewal of food system. Furthermore, the forum would raise discussion about the importance of research and research coordination in changing the Finnish food system and to improve the dialogue among various actors.<\/p>\n<p><em>Continue reading at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vttresearch.com\/en\/news-and-ideas\/food-research-strategy-finland-promote-health-and-sustainability\">VTT<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vttresearch.com\/en\/news-and-ideas\/food-research-strategy-finland-promote-health-and-sustainability\">VTT\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time is now ripe for changes in the Finnish food system.
