Bæredygtige fødevarer

This page is also available in

Fødevarer er centrale for vores liv og en integreret del af den europæiske kultur. Den mad, vi spiser, hvordan den produceres, og den mængde, der går til spilde, har imidlertid stor indvirkning på menneskers sundhed, naturressourcerne og samfundet som helhed:

  • Flere og flere borgere og især børn lider af overvægt og fedme på grund af usunde kostvaner.
  • Landbrugere og arbejdstagere får ikke en rimelig pris for deres produkter.
  • En tredjedel af fødevarerne går tabt eller til spilde i fødevarekæden.
  • Miljøet betaler prisen på grund af fødevareproduktionen og -forbrugets dramatiske indvirkning på klimaændringerne, tab af biodiversitet, vand- og luftforurening, jordforringelse osv.

Covid-19-krisen er et wakeupcall om, at det er tid til forandring. Den har understreget, at det ikke er en selvfølge at få fødevarer "fra jord til bord" og vist, hvor tæt forbundet aktører og aktiviteter er i hele fødevaresystemet. Fair, ressourceeffektive, inklusive og bæredygtige forsyningskæder i hele landbrugs-, og fødevaresektoren er mere end nogensinde før nødvendige for at tilgodese borgere, landbrugere, arbejdstagere og virksomheder ligeligt.

EØSU har i mange år været en af de fremmeste fortalere for en bæredygtig og omfattende fødevarepolitik. En sådan integreret og systematisk tilgang er afgørende for at tackle de mange og indbyrdes forbundne udfordringer, der har at gøre med fødevaresystemerne, nemlig opnåelse af økonomisk, miljømæssig og sociokulturel bæredygtighed, sikring af integration og sammenhæng på tværs af politikområder (f.eks. landbrug, miljø, sundhed, uddannelse, handel, økonomi, teknologi osv.) og fremme af samarbejde mellem alle myndighedsniveauer.
