11 Sustainable Nutritional Security
@usda_nifa Sustainable Nutritional Security Nutrition Profitability Productivity Affordability Accessibility Sustainability Ecological Footprint Producer Consumer

12 Ecological Footprint of Food and Agriculture
@usda_nifa Ecological Footprint of Food and Agriculture NIFA’s vision is to help facilitate approaches – including biophysical, behavioral, social, regulatory, and policy – to reduce footprint by at least 50 percent in the next years

13 Food Waste and Food Loss
@usda_nifa Food Waste and Food Loss Americans waste approx. $120 B/Year Double food production in 40 years Cut loss/waste by half? Cut water loss One quadrillion liters/year Impact climate change 1.4 kilograms (kg) CO2-eq capita−1day−1; emissions of 33 million cars/year

14 New Markets for Food “Waste”
@usda_nifa New Markets for Food “Waste” Preventive approaches on the supply and distribution chain: Need to reduce food waste -- gleaning examples

15 Systems Approaches for Sustainable Agricultural Systems
@USDA_NIFA Systems Approaches for Sustainable Agricultural Systems Enhancing Agricultural Productivity Strengthening the Bioeconomy Improving Nutrition and Food Safety Protecting the Environment Data Science and Education are critical to achieving these goals

16 New Approaches/New Opportunities/Profitability
@usda_nifa New Approaches/New Opportunities/Profitability Systems Approaches Cellular Level Gene Interactions Gene Networks Gene Function Gene Editing/RNAi Signaling Environment Organismal Level Nutrition Genetics & Breeding Pests/Parasites Abiotic Transcriptome Environmental Signals Resource Allocation Pollutants Pesticides Diagnostics Community Level Public Health Biotic & Abiotic Factors Habitat Management Environmental Chemicals Sensors Big Data Diseases

17 Enhanced Productivity to Profitability
@usda_nifa Enhanced Productivity to Profitability Abiotic Variables Biotic Variables Genotyping and Phenotyping Technologies Statistical and Quantitative Genetics Observational Science to Information Science to Predictive Science Genome Editing, Heterosis, Doubled Haploids Systems and synthetic biology Productivity and Efficiency Traits

18 Opportunities Through the Supply Chain
@usda_nifa Opportunities Through the Supply Chain On Farm Production Soil Health, Water, Nutrients Pests/Control Energy Traceability and Tracking Supply Chain Management Processing Inspection Transportation Storage Retailers Inventory Access Smart Refrigerators Food Safety Ripeness Shrink Wrap Waste Smart Services Etc.

19 Bioenergy, Biomaterials, Bioproducts
