Agri-tech & food: sustainable intensification Food production is one of the most vital uses of land, and indeed there is a very clear consensus that agricultural outputs will have to increase over the foreseeable future. This consensus derives from the observation of a confluence of factors increasing pressures on the global food system. These factors include ongoing increases in world population, greater demand for high input foodstuffs, and the dislocating effect of climate change with an increasing frequency and amplitude of weather extremes (i.e. changes in both mean and variability). One of the suggested mechanisms to increase agricultural output whilst minimising adverse outcomes is sustainable intensification. Under this theme, proposals are invited which address the challenge of sustainable intensification in agriculture. For the purposes of this call, sustainable intensification is defined as the combination of enhanced yields and productivity (both crop and livestock) with improved resource use efficiency (using less inputs) and better environmental, social and economic outcomes, while balancing production with long-term maintenance of the natural capital on which it and other ecosystem services depend (not just growing more with less). Proposals which adopt integrated systems approaches in order to address questions in broader multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or trans-disciplinary contexts are particularly encouraged. Proposals for the application of agricultural technology (agri-tech, including the application of remote sensing to agriculture) to support sustainable intensification are particularly encouraged. 2. Energy Transition and access to affordable, reliable and clean energy systems is vital for mitigating further climate change and moving towards sustainable models of urban and rural society. Improvements to existing technologies must be matched with understanding of the social and economic environment within which these technologies are deployed in new urban and rural developments. Along with retrofitting of existing developments and integration of new systems of energy production and distribution with existing infrastructures. Under this theme proposals are invited specifically in the development of cleaner, more affordable and secure integrated energy systems including technologies and to improve the matching of energy supply with demand and localised energy systems. This could also include increased affordability, long term stability and integration of renewable energy devices and technologies, such as solar PV in buildings 3. Healthcare Medical devices are vital for healthcare delivery. However, despite significant science and technology advances, availability of and access to appropriate and affordable health technologies remains insufficient. Successful development of healthcare technologies for resource-poor settings and poor or marginalised communities requires an excellent understanding of the local needs and the specific social, economic, and cultural environment. Many countries also face a major demographic shift towards an aging population, a social group which in some settings can be at higher risk of marginalisation and lack access to affordable health care while having a higher risk of serious health conditions. Under this theme proposals are invited to support research and innovation activities which will lead to innovative, safe, effective and affordable medical technologies which address health problems and improve quality of life in resource-poor settings and for aging populations. Under this theme, proposals are invited to: Improve the delivery of health and care services to the growing ageing population in China; and Develop affordable medical technologies and instruments. This could include solutions for prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged. 4. Urbanisation Like many other regions of the world China continues to rapidly urbanise and it is estimated that as many as 1 billion people will live in an urban environment in China by 2025. The speed of this urban development has led to significant challenges. In contrast cities in the UK continue to grow, but at a slower rate, and have different challenges of upgrading existing infrastructures and finding new ways to integrate different urban systems more efficiently. Effective planning, design and implementation of new technologies like ICT solutions for sustainable, healthy and integrated urban infrastructures and land environment are vital to address the challenges of both British and Chinese cities. The development of Internet of Things is also expected to bring improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit for cities. Under this theme proposals are invited which will develop new products and services to plan, manage and deliver sustainable urban infrastructures, and to improve urban land use and remediation, specifically: Integrated urban planning to deliver smart, efficient transportation infrastructure, such as, not limited to: automated road transport; integration of green vehicles in urban transport systems; autonomous driving in a connected environment, etc; Innovative ICT solutions to build the Internet of Things, including but not limited to: broadband networks and wireless technologies, automation, large scale deployment, etc; and Providing enough suitable land resources for regeneration and housing in major urban centres including the remediation of underused and abandoned land contaminated by former industrial activities or retrofitting of existing built environment and land resources for effective use.
