This report makes the case for a Common Food Policy for the European Union. It maps out a single, timebound vision for reforming European food systems under the umbrella of a Common Food Policy: a policy setting a direction of travel for the whole food system, bringing together the various sectoral policies that affect food production, processing, distribution, and consumption, and refocusing all actions on the transition to sustainability. The Common Food Policy vision seeks to capture the growing consensus on what needs to be done to build sustainable food systems.The Common Food Policy vision outlined in this report is not simply the view of scientific experts. It draws on the collective intelligence of more than 400 farmers, food entrepreneurs, civil society activists, scientists, and policymakers, consulted throughout a three-year process of research and reflection. The Common Food Policy vision therefore seeks to capture the growing consensus on what needs to be done to build sustainable food systems.
