Por que un marco comunitario para la alimentacin sostenible es crucial para el clima, la biodiversidad y la competitividad
Summary
The document advocates for the immediate proposal of the Sustainable Food Systems Legislative Framework (SFSF) to ensure the EU's long-term food security, climate resilience, and global competitiveness. It argues that the SFSF is essential for transitioning from a net importer to a net exporter of calories by reducing reliance on fossil-fuel fertilizers and imported feed. The authors contend that the EU can maintain global leadership and competitiveness by shifting focus from production volumes to value creation based on high environmental, health, and animal welfare standards. Furthermore, the SFSF is presented as a necessary tool to ensure internal and external coherence across EU goals regarding climate, biodiversity, and deforestation, particularly concerning embedded carbon in food imports.
Key insights
- The Sustainable Food Systems Legislative Framework (SFSF) is described as a "piedra angular del Green Deal de la UE para el sector agroalimentario" and is necessary to transition the EU from being a net importer of calories to a net exporter.
- The authors argue that EU competitiveness should be based on value creation and the establishment of high standards for climate, biodiversity, public health, and animal welfare, rather than focusing on agricultural production volumes.
- There is a perceived risk that the EU may lose the opportunity to promote sustainable and diversified agricultural systems if it does not codify its own norms, as other global actors promote "intensificación sostenible y la agricultura climáticamente inteligente" which may only support marginal adjustments to industrial farming.
- The SFSF is considered essential for the EU's international credibility and coherence, specifically regarding climate and deforestation commitments, due to the amount of "carbono embebido en las importaciones de alimentos y piensos de Europa".
