Potravinová udržateľnosť

This page is also available in:

Potraviny sú základom nášho života a neoddeliteľnou súčasťou európskej kultúry. Avšak to, aké potraviny konzumujeme, akým spôsobom ich vyrábame a ako nimi plytváme, má veľký vplyv na ľudské zdravie, prírodné zdroje a spoločnosť ako celok:

  • Občania – a najmä deti – čoraz viac trpia nadváhou a obezitou v dôsledku nezdravého stravovania.
  • Poľnohospodári a pracovníci nedostávajú za svoje výrobky spravodlivú cenu.
  • V celom potravinovom reťazci sa zničí alebo vyhodí jedna tretina potravín.
  • Dopláca na to životné prostredie, keďže výroba a spotreba potravín majú dramatické dôsledky, pokiaľ ide o zmenu klímy, stratu biodiverzity, znečistenie ovzdušia a vody, degradáciu pôdy atď.

Kríza COVID-19 bola varovným signálom, že nastal čas na zmenu. Ukázala nám, že skutočnosť, že sa potraviny dostávajú „z farmy na stôl“, nemožno považovať za samozrejmosť, a odhalila vzájomnú prepojenosť subjektov a činností v poľnohospodárstve a celom potravinovom systéme. V celom odvetví poľnohospodárstva a potravinárstva sú viac než kedykoľvek predtým potrebné spravodlivé, inkluzívne a udržateľné dodávateľské reťazce efektívne využívajúce zdroje, aby mali z neho rovnaký prospech občania, poľnohospodári, pracovníci aj podniky.

EHSV sa už roky intenzívne zasadzuje za udržateľnú a komplexnú potravinovú politiku. Takýto integrovaný a systémový prístup je nevyhnutný na to, aby sa vyriešilo množstvo vzájomne prepojených výziev, ktorým čelia potravinové systémy, aby sa zaručila hospodárska, environmentálna a sociálno-kultúrna udržateľnosť, zaistila integrácia a koherentnosť vo všetkých oblastiach politiky (ako je poľnohospodárstvo, životné prostredie, zdravie, vzdelávanie, obchod, hospodárstvo, technológie atď.) a podporila spolupráca všetkých úrovní verejnej správy.

  • Europe’s SDG progress slows, urgent action needed on food systems

    A new report on Europe’s progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlights a significant slowdown, raising concerns about the EU’s ability to meet the 2030 targets. The Europe Sustainable Development Report 2025 (ESDR), published by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), finds that the pace of SDG progress between 2020 and 2023 was more than twice as slow as in the previous period.
