The document summarizes the proceedings of the eROSA 2nd Stakeholder workshop held in Wageningen, Netherlands in 2017. eROSA is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program to develop an open e-science infrastructure for agriculture. The workshop discussed developing FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) agricultural data resources and services, and a vision for 2030 where food systems produce healthy food through sustainable methods while supporting environmental and social goals. Next steps include broadening perspectives beyond just agriculture to consider sustainable food systems, and making progress on implementing agricultural data infrastructures.

6. Looking forward
We have to broaden our view

7. We have to broaden our view
not only agriculture
we need sustainable food systems

8. Breaking Taboos
..efficient agriculture=efficient food
system..
..food has to be cheap...

9. Comparing SDGs to what organic agriculture delivers
Increase productivity
of subsistence & small
holder farms
Strongly reduce ne-
gative environmental
externalities
Foster learning
and cooperation
of farmers
Use ecosystem
functions for pro-
ductivity increase
Create value
addition in food
chains
Reduce poverty
of farm families
Foster farmer-owned
knowledge instead of
external inputs &
knowledge
Increase global food
production
by ~ 50 %. 

10. Vision Paper
In 2030 food systems will produce healthy nutritious foods,
produced through input-efficient methods and supporting a
thriving environment. Food Systems will operate as
collaborative networks, that are constantly improving to
improve their economic, environmental and social
performance for all actors in the network, and those food
systems can be region specific, in local territories, but also
global. The food systems contribute to the achievement of
a wide range of objectives as captured by the SDG’s and
contributes to mitigating climate change impacts, and
adapting to negative consequences of climate change.
