Towards a Common Food Policy for the EU
date: 26/02/2019
A new publication – produced by the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food) – maps out a new governance architecture for sustainable food systems and puts forward a concrete vision for its achievement.
The report makes the case for a Common Food Policy for the EU, bringing together the various sectoral policies that affect food production, processing, distribution, and consumption, and re-focusing all actions on the transition to sustainability.
The publication draws on a three-year participatory research process involving over 400 farmers, food entrepreneurs, civil society activists, scientists and policy-makers.
