The culmination of two years' preparatory work and worldwide mobilisation events, the United Nations Food Systems Summit took place on 23 September 2021. The idea behind the summit, initiated by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, was to start a process of transforming the way the world produces, consumes and thinks about food – as a crucial step in progressing on all 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). The summit was announced in October 2019 – before the Covid 19 pandemic became ...

El 20 de mayo de 2020, la Comisión Europea adoptó la Comunicación titulada «Estrategia “De la Granja a la Mesa” para un sistema alimentario justo, saludable y respetuoso con el medio ambiente». Tras un animado debate parlamentario en el que los diputados expresaron sus diferentes puntos de vista sobre cómo crear sistemas alimentarios sostenibles, está previsto que se someta a votación un informe de propia iniciativa de la comisión conjunta sobre la Estrategia en el Pleno del período parcial de sesiones ...

This study explores the prospects of aligning citizens' behaviour with the objectives of the European Green Deal in the domains of food consumption and mobility. Creating a climate-neutral and resource-efficient European economy requires a deep transformation of energy, mobility and food systems, as well as a change in production and consumption practices. Such profound change will impact both individuals and society. At the same time, the transition to sustainability will not succeed if people do ...

La pesca y la acuicultura se encuentran entre los sectores alimentarios más afectados por la COVID-19. En un principio, la mayoría de los países intentaron garantizar la salud y la seguridad mediante el cierre de puertos, poniendo en cuarentena buques extranjeros, cerrando lonjas al aire libre, desinfectando puertos y barcos pesqueros, proporcionando mascarillas a los trabajadores y sensibilizando sobre medidas sanitarias.

According to a 2019 report by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), we know surprisingly little about how much food is lost or wasted, where along the food supply chain this happens, and why. Producing food that is not eaten – whether because it is lost in the field or wasted on a plate – not only diminishes the quantity of food available, but is also a waste of economic and environmental resources, FAO states. Around 88 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually in ...

Insects, while commonly consumed elsewhere in the world, have long been off the menu in Europe – but they could soon be creeping their way onto our plates. Entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, is now gaining serious interest – is it set to take Europe by swarm?

En el marco de su Plan de acción para la economía circular, la Unión se propone concretizar un uso más eficiente de los recursos reduciendo el desperdicio de alimentos y reforzando la seguridad alimentaria. Está previsto que el Parlamento Europeo someta a votación en mayo de 2017 un informe de propia iniciativa en el que se proponen medidas para reducir a la mitad, de aquí a 2030, los 88 millones de toneladas de alimentos comestibles que se desperdician cada año en la Unión.

What options exist, especially in terms of new technologies, for reducing the carbon footprint of the livestock industry, how effective might they be, and what could be done to encourage their implementation? The livestock industry is responsible for around 14.5 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. The magnitude of this percentage is due to the emission of large amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, which both result in greater global warming than carbon dioxide per gram of gas released. The main ...

La reducción del desperdicio de alimentos se considera un importante factor con vistas a lograr la seguridad alimentaria mundial, liberar recursos no renovables para otros usos, disminuir los riesgos medioambientales y evitar pérdidas económicas. En su Hoja de ruta hacia una Europa eficiente en el uso de los recursos, la Comisión Europea ha fijado el objetivo de reducir a la mitad la generación de residuos de alimentos de aquí a 2020. El presente estudio aborda los planteamientos para evitar el ...

Worldwide, the aquaculture industry is growing rapidly and playing an increasingly important role in ensuring global food supply, accounting for almost half of all fish and seafood consumption. In the EU, by contrast, the industry has not been part of this global upsurge, but has steadily lost ground despite the fact that the EU is heavily dependent on imports to meet strong consumer demand for fish and seafood.
