Adopted on May 2020 the EU Farm to Fork Strategy<\/strong> aims to substantially overhaul Europe\u2019s complex food system in order to render it healthy, equitable and sustainable<\/strong>. The strategy targets every step of the food chain from its initial production, manufacturing and processing to its final packaging, transportation, sale and consumption.<\/p>\n

The strategy presents a new comprehensive approach to reach a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system for the EU. To achieve this, the strategy sets out three specific objectives<\/strong>: to ensure that the entire food chain, from food production, transport and distribution, to marketing and consumption, has a neutral or positive environmental impact; to promote food security, nutrition and public health; and finally to preserve the affordability of food, while generating fairer economic returns in the supply chain, so that ultimately the most sustainable food also becomes the most affordable.<\/p>\n

To facilitate the transition, the European Commission has announced a package of actions and other commitments<\/strong> to be rolled out over the coming years. This will start with a legislative proposal for a framework for a sustainable food system before the end of 2023 to promote policy coherence at EU and national level, mainstream sustainability in all food-related policies and strengthen the resilience of food systems.<\/p>\n
