Food is at the beating heart of European life. Indeed, if there\u2019s one thing that brings Europeans together, it\u2019s food.<\/p>\r\n

However, the way we produce and consume food today is making us sick and wrecking our planet.<\/p>\r\n

One third of EU greenhouse gas emissions come from our food systems, exacerbating a climate crisis that is already having a devastating effect on food production in Europe and beyond. On top of this, millions of people struggle to access healthy food and suffer from diet-related diseases, causing huge social and health costs.<\/p>\r\n

These issues are complex and interconnected, but can be solved with some imagination, courage, and good governance. The forthcoming EU Sustainable Food Systems Law is a crucial opportunity to steer our food systems away from this destructive and self-defeating spiral towards a nature- and people-friendly model that upholds long-term food security, revives ecosystems, supports a just transition for all agri-food workers, and provides healthy and affordable food for all.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!<\/p>\r\n
