Panel discussion - A recipe for food sovereignty

Information

The Farm to Fork Strategy aims at guaranteeing food security and sustainability for all EU citizens through a fair, healthy and resilient food supply. But are EU policies really translating the ambition of the strategy into effective action points?


• The Russian invasion of Ukraine has highlighted how intertwined and fragile food systems are. How can the EU reduce its dependencies and achieve food sovereignty?

• How should the EU push for more coherence between its farming and trade policies? Are mirror clauses the best way to bring the two together?

• Is there a rise in agri-trade protectionism linked to the war and what consequences could it have?

• Can the EU’s export-oriented agriculture model really survive the new era of sustainability?
