**description:** Expected Outcome:
The second and final instalment of the partnership is expected in continuation to contribute to expected outcomes specified in topic HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9: European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate, for continuation of the activities and the continuation of already agreed outcomes.
Scope:
The objective of this action is to continue to provide support to the European Partnership identified in the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2021-2024 and that will be implemented under the topic HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9: European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate, and in particular to fund additional activities (which may also be undertaken by additional partners) in view of its intended scope and duration, and in accordance with Article 24(2) of the Horizon Europe Regulation.
The consortium which applied to and is under grant agreement preparations under HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9: European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate is uniquely placed to submit a proposal to continue the envisioned partnership. The foreseen consortium has expertise in relation to the objectives of the Partnership and the activities to be implemented by calls and internal activities. In practice, another consortium could not continue the activities of the Partnership underway without significant disruption to the ongoing activities, if at all.
The scope of the application for this call on the European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate should focus on the partnership’s co-created strategic research and innovation agenda for seven to ten years which includes inspiration for calls for research projects and horizontal activities to allow the Partnership to operate and to achieve its specific objectives. The application should also consider new and upcoming priorities, and this should be reflected in their upcoming work.
The partnership should seek to include additional partners, in particular from Member States and Associated countries not yet in the consortium funded under HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9.
It is expected that the partnership organises joint calls on an annual base and therefore it should factor ample time to run the co-funded projects. The partnership should collaborate closely with relevant partnerships in Horizon Europe Cluster 6 and beyond, the partnership should describe specific activities foreseen to strengthen the synergies with other related Missions and Partnerships.
While the award of a grant to continue the Partnership in accordance with this call should be based on a proposal submitted by the coordinator of the consortium funded under HORIZON-CL6-FARM2FORK-01-9: European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate and the additional activities (which may include additional partners) to be funded by the grant should be subject to an evaluation, this evaluation should take into account the existing context and the scope of the initial evaluation as relevant, and related obligations enshrined in the grant agreement.
Taking into account that the present action is a continuation of topic HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9: European partnership on sustainable food systems for people, planet and climate and foresees an amendment to an existing grant agreement, the proposal should also present in a separate document the additional activities and any additional partners, to be covered by the award in terms of how they would be reflected in the grant agreement.
Total indicative budget - Total indicative budget beyond the duration of this WP
The total indicative budget for this topic is EUR 130 million committed in annual instalments over years 2025-2027 (EUR 35 million from the 2025 budget, EUR 45 million from the 2026 budget and EUR 50 million from the 2027 budget). The total indicative budget for the duration of the partnership is EUR 175 million.

6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants
This action is intended to be implemented in the form of an amendment of the grant agreement concluded pursuant to topic HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01-9.
For the additional activities covered by this action:
• The funding rate is 30% of the eligible costs.
• Beneficiaries may provide financial support to third parties (FSTP). The support to third parties can only be provided in the form of grants.
• Financial support provided by the participants to third parties is one of the primary activities of this action in order to be able to achieve its objectives. The EUR 60 000 threshold provided for in Article 207(a) of the Financial Regulation No 2024/2509 does not apply.
• The maximum amount of FSTP to be granted to an individual third party is EUR 10 000 000 for the whole duration of Horizon Europe[[However, if the objectives of the action would otherwise be impossible or overly difficult (and duly justified in the proposal) the maximum amount may be higher.]]. This amount is justified since provision of FSTP is one the primary activities of this action and it is based on the extensive experience under predecessors of this partnership.
 
The starting date of grants awarded under this topic may be as of the submission date of the application. Applicants must justify the need for a retroactive starting date in their application. Costs incurred from the starting date of the action may be considered eligible (and will be reflected in the entry into force date of the amendment to the grant agreement).
