Towards a sustainable food system in the EU
The existing EU policies do not meet these challenges, which means that it is necessary to change and improve the food system in order to achieve climate neutrality in 2050 and meet the biodiversity goals.
In this project, CONCITO will address the pressing challenges facing the EU's food system. The purpose is to contribute to creating a sustainable and resilient food system, for farmers as well as for the rest of society, with a particular focus on climate action and biodiversity.
In the project period 2023-2026, we will contribute to the development of important policy areas that have the potential to greatly improve the EU's food system, including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the EU's framework for sustainable food systems (SFS) and the potential new climate regulation of agriculture and land use.
In close collaboration with other green European think tanks, we will focus on delivering evidence-based analyses, proposals and recommendations as well as white papers and reports. The project will engage with decision-makers, agricultural organizations and other trade organizations, researchers and NGOs to promote dialogue, create consensus and develop common solutions. The project will also develop a model of the EU's food system that will be able to calculate the impact of different scenarios for a sustainable food system.
