Food in a green light - A systems approach to sustainable food
Publication
Created 27 Sep 2017
Published 16 Oct 2017
This report takes a food system approach to analyse
European production, consumption and trade of food,
and associated environmental and human health aspects.
Understanding the patterns, processes and actors involved
allows for more coherent and effective policy interventions to
reduce environmental pressures along the value chain, with
potential co-benefits to human health and well-being.
The report addresses both terrestrial and aquatic food
production and goes beyond the environmental impact
and economic performance of agriculture and fisheries.
The focus is on long-term sustainability objectives, as laid
down in the 2050 vision of the Seventh Environment Action
Programme and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
