Intercontinental Scientific Advisory Board

Sustainable management of natural resources is a priority for CAP 2014-2020. Agricultural sustainability and food security are key aims of the new Food-KIC 2016 and Europe’s policy framework on food security in developing countries, to which we contribute in part via our Intercontinental Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) comprised of experts from Canada, USA, Brazil, Croatia, India, Kenya and Australia. The ISAB is Chaired and Vice-chaired by two Case Study partners and the ISAB holds quarterly meetings.

  • The slides and abstracts of the presentations given by the ISAB members during the 2nd General Assembly of the TRUE Project can be seen here.
  • Interviews with the ISAB members introducing themselves and talking about the innovative approach of the TRUE project can be found here.
