Can we live within the planet's limits, especially when facing multiple crises? We are using resources faster than the planet can replenish, creating pollution, destroying nature, driving climate change, and impacting people’s health and well-being. A transition to a sustainable future will require a fundamental shift in production and consumption systems.

The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly.

Food systems cannot be resilient to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic if they are not sustainable. We need to redesign our food systems which today account for nearly one-third of global GHG emissions, consume large amounts of natural resources, result in biodiversity loss and negative health impacts (due to both under- and over-nutrition) and do not allow fair economic returns and livelihoods for all actors, in particular for primary producers.
