The European Food Forum event on the "Farm to Fork Fireside chat on 2022 actions" will take place on a virtual platform on January 26th from 16:00 to 18:00 CET
About the event
From Sustainability standards to the labelling of food, The EU Farm to Fork Strategy is the most ambitious policy vision the Commission has ever formulated for the European Food Sector. Various stakeholders active in food have been asking for coherent rules, an enabling business environment and a sharper focus on sustainability and health and nutrition; the 27 initiatives the Strategy intends to put forward before the end of 2023 are meant to deliver just that. Now that there is an agreement with the Parliament on Farm to Fork and on the CAP, and that the Business framed its own ambition in the Business Code of Conduct, the Commission will need to fast track its agenda, demonstrate the value to consumers of what is proposed, securing the support of Member States, and aligning other relevant Green Deal proposals (e.g. the one on imported deforestation).
Our exchange of views on F2F at EFF with Directors from the key DGs and the 2022 EU Council Presidencies (France and Czech Republic) will take stock of the launch and the initial reactions to outline and discuss the strategy of the Commission to further pursue its F2F goals in 2022.

About the European Food Forum
The European Food Forum is an independent, politically-led, non-partisan forum led and governed by our elected Members of the European Parliament that aims to promote open dialogue on sustainable food systems among policymakers, food supply chain actors, civil society organizations, research and academia, and other public institutions.
The European Food Forum does not itself take positions on specific policy issues.
