Towards healthy, sustainable and inclusive European food systems

What can be done to prepare Europe’s food systems for the future? In this Policy Précis EuroHealthNet examines pathways, solutions and best practices to move towards healthier and more sustainable and inclusive food systems in Europe and beyond.

Despite growing concern about sustainability, Europe’s food systems still put undue stress on our environment. By restraining access to decent and affordable nutrition, our food systems perpetuate and drive up health inequalities.
