The “Farm to Fork Strategy” is at the heart of the European Green Deal, aiming to make food systems fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly. It seeks to accelerate the transition to a sustainable food system that has a neutral or positive environmental impact, helps to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects, reverses biodiversity loss, and ensures food security, nutrition, and public health making sure that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and sustainable food.

At the same time, it aims to preserve the affordability of food while generating fairer economic returns, fostering the competitiveness of the EU supply sector, and promoting fair trade. Transitioning food systems towards sustainability also creates new opportunities for operators in the food value chain. The combination of new technologies and scientific discoveries, along with growing public awareness and demand for sustainable food, will benefit all stakeholders.
