Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment

March 27, 2025

Time to read: 11 minutes

Cluster 6 aims to reduce environmental degradation, halt and reverse the decline of biodiversity on land, in inland waters and at sea, while better managing natural resources through transformative changes in both the economy and society, across urban and rural areas.

It will ensure food and nutrition security for all within planetary boundaries through knowledge, innovation and digitalization in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and food systems. Additionally, it will steer and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient circular economy and a sustainable bioeconomy, including forestry.

Visit the Cluster 6 webpage for more information, or use the EU Funding & Tenders Portal to search for funding opportunities from all clusters.
