"Food, Agriculture and Fisheries and Biotechnology" is one of 10 thematic areas in the Cooperation programme of the European Union's 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration Activities (FP7). With a budget of nearly €2 billion for the period 2007-2013, its objective is to foster the development of a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders that produce, manage or otherwise exploit biological resources. Biotechnology plays an important role in addressing social, environmental and economic challenges and it is recognised as a key enabling technology in the transition to a green, low carbon and resource-efficient economy. Biotechnologies for non-health applications have received a considerable attention in FP7 and to date 61 projects on industrial, marine, plant, environmental and emerging biotechnologies have been supported with a contribution of €262.8 million from the European Commission (EC). This article presents an outlook of the research, technological development and demonstration activities in biotechnology currently supported in FP7 within the Cooperation programme, including a brief overview of the policy context.
“食品、农业和渔业及生物技术”是欧盟第七个研究、技术开发和示范活动框架计划（FP7）合作计划的 10 个专题领域之一。该计划在 2007-2013 年期间的预算近 20 亿欧元，其目标是通过汇集科学、工业和其他生产、管理或利用生物资源的利益相关者，促进欧洲知识型生物经济（KBBE）的发展。生物技术在应对社会、环境和经济挑战方面发挥着重要作用，它被认为是向绿色、低碳和资源高效经济转型的关键使能技术。非健康应用的生物技术在 FP7 中得到了相当大的关注，迄今为止，已有 61 个关于工业、海洋、植物、环境和新兴生物技术的项目得到了支持，欧盟委员会（EC）为此贡献了 2.628 亿欧元。本文介绍了 FP7 合作计划中目前在生物技术领域支持的研究、技术开发和示范活动，包括政策背景的简要概述。
