Farm to Fork Strategy: how to reach the targets?
With the Farm to Fork deadline looming in 8 years’ time and no comprehensive impact
assessment in sight, we must build solution-oriented policies, based on the available data
we have at hand, with innovation as their cornerstone.
European agri-food production is among the most resource-efficient and sustainable in the
world. The European farming sector believes that, with innovation and further support at
the forefront of EU agricultural policy, farmers will and can continue to produce in an even
more sustainable manner. We acknowledge the expectations of society and policymakers
for food production systems and believe that innovation is key in the sustainable transition
outlined by the Farm to Fork Strategy. But innovation cannot happen without the necessary
legislative and financial support. The agri-food sector calls on European policymakers to
enable innovation as a driver of its Farm to Fork targets.
