This cluster aims to reduce environmental degradation, halt and reverse the decline in biodiversity on land, inland waters and at sea, and better manage natural resources through economic and societal transformations in urban and rural areas. It will ensure food and nutritional security for all within planetary limits, based on knowledge, innovation and digitalisation in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and food systems. It will guide and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient circular economy and a sustainable bioeconomy, including in the forestry sector. The research and innovation activities carried out as part of Cluster 6 will contribute to the objectives of the\u00a0Green Pact for EuropeThis is particularly the case in relation to the strategy to promote\u00a0biodiversity by 2030strategy\u00a0From farm to table\u00a0&#8220;on\u00a0European Climate Pact\u00a0and initiatives aimed at sustainable industry and the elimination of pollution. They will also support the long-term vision for rural areas and the Sustainable Development Goals. The expected impacts of this cluster are defined in the\u00a0Horizon Europe strategic plan.
