The level of environmental, economic, and social difficulties facing the world today is unprecedented. With the global economy under stress, oil prices skyrocketing, and food supply systems under pressure, the Covid epidemic and the war in Ukraine have added a new layer of challenges.
Building robust and sustainable agricultural systems that can withstand these difficulties, guarantee food security, and safeguard the environment for future generations has never been more important.
In light of this, FoodDrinkEurope created its revolutionary Action Plan for Sustainable Food Systems.
The EU Code of Conduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices is one of the goals of FoodDrinkEurope, whose work includes implementing the Action Plan. This Action Plan actualizes the aspirational objectives and suggestive actions set forth in the Code for sustainable food systems.
The #FoodFuture campaign engaged over 2,000 people and included in-depth discussions about the future of food with over 100 stakeholders, including policymakers, civil society, businesses, and consumers. This extensive 10-month listening exercise helped to shape the Action Plan.
