Sustainable Food Systems
About the ‘Sustainable Food Systems’ project’
The Group of Chief Scientific Advisors asked SAPEA to produce an Evidence Review Report on the following question:
What are workable paths to deliver an inclusive, just and timely transition to an EU sustainable food system, where possible delivering benefits for health, the environment, and socio-economic aspects?
