Author Description

Food security is a primary societal goal in which food systems play a pivotal role. European food systems are changing, driven by complex technological and policy factors including CAP reform. These changes will affect the interactions between food availability, food access and food utilisation in uncertain ways. In addition to providing safe and healthy food, European food systems also contribute to an increasing number of goals including environmental functions and landscape and society objectives. This Forward Look will focus on how the changes in Europe’s food systems drivers, in the context of balancing the varied goals, will affect these interactions.
