This document summarizes a presentation about the eROSA project, which received Horizon 2020 funding to develop an open e-science infrastructure for agriculture. It discusses eROSA's vision for this infrastructure, comparing it to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The presentation outlines eROSA's approach to data interoperability, virtual research environments, and data portals. It also evaluates how organic agriculture can support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and presents eROSA's vision for collaborative, resilient food systems by 2030.

6. Comparing SDGs to what organic agriculture delivers
Increase productivity
of subsistence & small
holder farms
Strongly reduce ne-
gative environmental
externalities
Foster learning
and cooperation
of farmers
Use ecosystem
functions for pro-
ductivity increase
Create value
addition in food
chains
Reduce poverty
of farm families
Foster farmer-owned
knowledge instead of
external inputs &
knowledge
Increase global food
production
by ~ 50 %. 

10. Vision Paper
In 2030 food systems will produce healthy nutritious foods,
produced through input-efficient methods and supporting a
thriving environment. Food Systems will operate as
collaborative networks, that are constantly improving to
improve their economic, environmental and social
performance for all actors in the network, and those food
systems can be region specific, in local territories, but also
global. The food systems contribute to the achievement of
a wide range of objectives as captured by the SDG’s and
contributes to mitigating climate change impacts, and
adapting to negative consequences of climate change.
