EU Farm to Fork Strategy
https://food.ec.europa.eu/horizontal-topics/farm-fork-strategy_en


Food systems cannot be resilient to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic if they are not sustainable. We need to redesign our food systems which today account for nearly one-third of global GHG emissions, consume large amounts of natural resources, result in biodiversity loss and negative health impacts (due to both under- and over-nutrition) and do not allow fair economic returns and livelihoods for all actors, in particular for primary producers.

Putting our food systems on a sustainable path also brings new opportunities for operators in the food value chain. New technologies and scientific discoveries, combined with increasing public awareness and demand for sustainable food, will benefit all stakeholders.

The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transition to a sustainable food system that should:
have a neutral or positive environmental impact

help to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts

reverse the loss of biodiversity

ensure food security, nutrition and public health, making sure that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, sustainable food

preserve affordability of food while generating fairer economic returns, fostering competitiveness of the EU supply sector and promoting fair trade

Transparent milk straight from the farm

nsumenten worden steeds kritischer en dus ook sceptischer. Wij willen graag het verhaal van de boer vertellen. Wij zijn trots op onze processen en producten. We hebben een heleboel data beschikbaar omdat onze boeren gebruikmaken van onder andere melkrobots die meten wanneer de koe gemolken is en wat de waardes van de melk zijn. Tegelijkertijd weten we dat consumenten behoefte hebben aan openheid. Dus waarom zouden we informatie die we hebben niet op een begrijpelijke manier inzichtelijk maken?
