Descrição
Optimised animal production systems can contribute to a safe, healthy and diverse diet, can help maintain sustainable human communities in more marginal regions of Europe and can facilitate reductions in our environmental footprint on the planet. A vibrant and effective animal breeding and reproduction industry is essential if Europe is to meet the future challenges of animal agriculture in a rapidly changing ecological, economic and social environment. Farm animal breeding and reproduction are a globally highly competitive, knowledge intensive sector where Europe has a major influence on the genetic make up of future animals and hence on the whole of animal production.

Descrição
Manufactured foods are safer than ever, but excessive food intake and a decrease in physical activity have led to a significant growth of lifestyle-related diseases in European society. Obesity, coronary and heart diseases, diabetes, etc. will increase to unacceptable levels if appropriate measures are not taken immediately. The European agro-food industry is aware of its role in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases. However, this comprehensive area requires completely new and innovative concepts, which cannot be introduced and exploited without substantial and targeted R&D investments.

With the increase in international trade, the movement of people and possibly climate change influences, new diseases are arriving in Europe. Outbreaks of major animal diseases such as Foot and Mouth disease, Classical Swine Fever, Avian Influenza, Bluetongue and West Nile Fever can have a devastating impact on animal and human health, food safety, rural communities, the environment and the wider economy.
In Europe more than 50,000 full time jobs depend on the animal health industry, with 15,000 directly involved in R&D, production, marketing, sales and administration. Total European sales in 2010 were 4,300 million euros, comprising 33.3% of worldwide sales.

Descrição
An ageing population, expectations for a better quality of life and changing lifestyles call for improved, more efficient and affordable health care. A better understanding of the functioning of the human body at the molecular and nanometre scale as well as the ability to intervene at pre-symptomatic, acute or chronic stages of an illness are of utmost importance to meet these expectations.
