The National Research Council of Italy Department of Biology, Agriculture and Food Sciences

DISBA and the planetary grand challenge: To double agricultural productions, halving the use of resources

Vision

i) How to face increasing foodneeds due to raising populationand changing dietary styles;

ii) How to reduce the use of limiting resources(water, energy) for the intensive agriculture;

iii) How to mitigate the global change, while producingsustainably food and feed resources with organisms adapted to the environment

Department of Biology, Agriculture and Food Sciences

The mission of the Department is to streamline fundamental and applied scientific and technological knowledge for the development and valorisation of a sustainable bio-economy, thereby contributing to tackle the global grand challenges of future earth, including the need to provide enough food, water, and energy to a growing population, through a sustainable use of limited natural resources.
