Sustainable Production Systems— safe and high-quality food and bio-based products produced by efficient and globally competitive agriculture and forestry sectors in alignment with other natural resource development.

Environment, Ecology, Community— responsible management of soil, water and biotic resources provides improved economic opportunity and quality of life, especially for people in rural areas.

Safe Food Supply and Bioproducts— safe, nutritious and affordable food, beverages and wellness products — as well as bio-based industrial and pharmaceutical products derived from renewable resources – required to meet the demands of a healthy and growing world population.
