The Roadmap for EU – ASEAN S&T Cooperation define priorities for the future, in S&T cooperation

• Health: There is a long tradition of cooperation on infectious diseases with the ASEAN countries and health research is a proven strength of the region. Nonetheless, major obstacles exist to overcome the existing and increasing global health challenges including the need for a deeper understanding of diseases pathology and the socio-economic causes of the diseases and linked effectiveness of health intervention. Cooperation on preparedness is undertaken through GloPID-R (Global Research Collaboration for Infectious Disease Preparedness) in which Thailand participates.

• In addition, there is potential to conduct joint research at regional level on antimicrobial resistance that is currently being investigated with several ASEAN MS closely working with EU MS having research excellence in that domain.

The Roadmap for EU – ASEAN S&T Cooperation define priorities for the future, in S&T cooperation

• Food: For both South-East Asia and Europe, a clear benefit arises from providing high quality, affordable and sustainable food along the whole agri-food chain (production, harvesting, processing, and distribution). Key issues such as eradicating poverty, hunger, preventing conflict will require handling those issues jointly. Besides, innovative food research will remain a key factor of competitiveness, jobs, sustainable growth and social progress in both regions.

• The EU and ASEAN countries have an interest in working together to meet the increasing seafood market demand; 90% of all world aquaculture production is based in Asia and Europe imports close to 70% of its seafood from South-East Asia.

SFS-11-2018-2019: Anti-microbials and animal production. A. [2018] Rethinking management of

health of farmed animals • Specific Challenge: Since their discovery, anti-microbials have played an essential role in the

treatment of infectious diseases in humans and farmed animals, whether terrestrial or aquatic, and have enormously improved population health as well as food security and safety. However, with the widespread use of anti-microbials for human and animal health in recent decades, the world is increasingly confronted with the emergence and spread of microbes that resist anti-microbial treatment. The discovery of new anti-microbials does not keep up with the development of anti-microbial resistance (AMR). AMR is responsible for an estimated 25,000 deaths yearly and over EUR 1.5 billion of healthcare costs and productivity losses in the EU alone. Addressing AMR is a cross-sectorial issue, requiring action by different policy areas, from health to agriculture, aquaculture and environment, from research to users, stakeholders and policy makers. A large part of the anti-microbials are used in animal production. Although the links between usage of anti-microbials in agriculture and AMR presence and risks in humans are not fully established, the use of anti-microbials in animal production is a main target for action. In line with the EU animal health strategy "prevention is better than cure" alternative strategies to anti-microbials need be developed.

• In 2011, the European Commission came up with a 5 year action plan to fight against anti-microbial resistance and the new action will focus on three pillars: making the EU a best practice region on AMR; boosting research, development and innovation on AMR; shaping the global agenda on AMR. For the purpose of this topic, the words 'animals' and 'farmers' apply to both terrestrial and aquatic animals.

SFS-11-2018-2019: Anti-microbials and animal production. A. [2018] Rethinking management of

health of farmed animals The activities should include socio-economic and behavioural science to analyse practices,

information and decision systems of farmers and practitioners, in particular veterinarians, who are involved in the management of health of terrestrial farmed animals livestock with (and without) reduced drug usage practices, in order to: identify the reasons why farmers accept or reject health management recommendations (e.g. use vs. non-use of anti-microbials, use of vaccines as preventive measure); identify levers/incentives for adherence to prudent use principles by veterinarians and farmers; enable predicting the behaviour of stakeholders (breeding organizations; feeding and pharmaceutical industries, governments) involved in health management to estimate the effectiveness of intervention measures; enable assessing resource allocation for health management (disease prevention, monitoring, therapeutic intervention, compensation of losses). The activities should also develop and if possible validate integrative strategies for animal health in order to foster minimal use of anti-microbials, from breeding and feeding of farmed animals livestock, to biosecurity, good husbandry practices, animal welfare and farm management. Proposals should address both conventional and organic farming. Proposals should fall under the concept of 'multi-actor approach', involving representatives of farmers, extension services and practitioners as well other animal production stakeholders (e.g. feeding, breeding, pharmaceutical industries).

SFS-01-2018-2019-2020: Biodiversity in action: across farmland and the value chain

• Specific Challenge: Agricultural biodiversity is understood to comprise all components

of biological diversity of relevance for food and agriculture and all components of biological diversity that constitute the agro-ecosystems. It is the result of highly dynamic interactions between the environment, genetic resources, agricultural practices and historical land management. The various dimensions of agricultural biodiversity play a significant role in conferring stability, resilience and adaptability to farming systems. Below ground biodiversity for example plays a major role in soil nutrient and water cycling, nutrient uptake by plants and in the control of plant diseases. Genetic diversity within species is at the origin of plant development, adaptation to different environments and a wide range of properties which cater for diverse needs. The native biodiversity on and around farms is associated with the provision of important ecosystem services that reach out beyond farm level.

• The way in which farmers manage their land has immediate effects on the domesticated and native biodiversity. Specialised, intensive agriculture has generally resulted in higher productivity but also in a trend towards decreasing levels of biodiversity. This tension between productivity and biodiversity is partly associated with a lack of incentives for farmers to play a more pronounced role in the stewardship of biodiversity. Ambitions to embed diversity more effectively into farming are reflected in a number of European policies and global commitments. Translation of these ambitions into practice will require that the necessary know-how and a range of options are in place to optimise the joint delivery of economic, environmental and social services by farming.

SFS-01-2018-2019-2020: Biodiversity in action: across farmland and the value chain

• Scope: Activities will tackle biodiversity from various angles ranging

from its supporting functions in agro-ecosystems (e.g. through activities of plant and soil biota), the integration of diversity into farming practices and incentives for wider biodiversity management including native biodiversity (flora and fauna). Proposals will consider various temporal and spatial scales when assessing the dynamics of biodiversity and its relationship with farming systems, the surrounding landscapes and throughout value chains

• Expected Impact: Funded activities will showcase the benefits of agro-biodiversity at

various levels and develop solutions and approaches to embed these benefits more effectively into farming practices and policy measures.

• In the short to medium term work will

• expand the knowledge base on the links between biodiversity and agriculture and the use of biodiversity in order to identify and develop best practices and innovative production systems that combine support for biodiversity with value creation

• result in improved methods and tools to assess, evaluate and monitor different levels of diversity (genetic, species and ecosystem) as well as the linkages between agri-biodiversity and ecosystems services in order to improve the definition of biodiversity targets from the field to regional level

• deliver strategies and tools for biodiversity focused soil management (scope A)

• reduce the dependence on external inputs in plant management through effective plant-soil interactions and the use of soil organisms (scope A)

• develop private and public incentives to foster farmer's delivery of biodiversity as a public good (scope B)

• generate news sets of harmonised data of native biodiversity in farmland landscapes and contribute to foster a European biodiversity platform and network involving the farmers (scope B)

• In the longer term funded activities will help to foster the synergies between agricultural production, biodiversity and the delivery of ecosystem services of local, regional and global relevance. They will allow the farming sector to continue fulfilling its multiple functions under the more challenging biotic and abiotic conditions expected in the future.
