Participants in the EU Food Policy Coalition work towards policy integration and alignment at the EU-level to facilitate the transition to sustainable food systems. The Coalition provides the debating space to discuss policies and, sometimes, carry out joint activities.
In particular, participants to the EU Food Policy believe that the European Union must pave the way to sustainable food systems by:
- Developing an inclusive and transparent governance and regulatory framework for policy coherence and transformation;
- Supporting a transition to agroecological food production that safeguards the environment, the climate, and our health;
- Driving a transition to sustainable, healthy diets by creating enabling food environments;
- Establishing a socially and economically just food system;
- Ensuring the welfare and health of farmed animals;
- Promoting participatory research and knowledge exchange for sustainable food systems;
- Driving global action for sustainable food systems;
