Résumé : | The European Commission has proposed a Framework Law on Sustainable Food Systems. To stimulate debate, this Point de Vue summarises the key messages of a policy brief by the European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils Network (EEAC). The European food system does not deliver sustainable diets with low environmental impacts which contribute to food and nutrition security and to a healthy life for present and future generations. An EU Framework should foster human and planetary health in a coherent and balanced approach between an agricultural supply policy, environmental policy and food (consumption) policy. It should direct the strong innovation capacity of actors away from ever lower food prices towards more sustainable farming, food processing and food consumption. However, a just transition is key: to the extent that healthy diets are not affordable for consumers, compensation should be given by changes in minimum wages, social security or income taxes. Different policy instruments are needed. Food system actors should not be exempted from economy-wide measures like carbon pricing. Certification of all commercial farms, as an extension of methods in organic farming and private label certifications is needed. Labelling, sustainable procurement and a blending obligation would reward more sustainable producers and raise the average price of the product towards its true cost. |
