In 2020, as an integral part of the European Green Deal, the EU presented its Farm to Fork Strategy, aimed at making Europe's food systems more resilient, healthier and more sustainable. The Farm to Fork strategy was the first to integrate all aspects of the food chain (agricultural, ecological, and nutritional) into a unified approach to food systems, moving beyond traditional farm policy.
Scientific evidence underlines the urgent and exacerbated need for more sustainable and healthier food systems. This is due to factors related to the climate crisis, such as soil degradation and a decline in biodiversity, as well as other factors such as increased obesity levels in many countries.
Join this Hybrid Conference on 31 October at 12.00 PM to discuss the way forward to more resilient and sustainable food systems in the EU. Discover the panel and register here!
Questions to be discussed include:
- What are the main financial challenges currently faced by farmers in the transition towards sustainable food systems?
- How can EU policy frameworks be adapted to provide more flexible and financial support to farmers transitioning to sustainable practices?
- How can we create favourable market conditions that protect natural resources while transitioning to sustainable food systems?
