Food systems across Europe are under increasing strain. Climate change, biodiversity loss and global uncertainty are reshaping how food is produced and distributed. Together, these pressures are exposing weaknesses across the entire value chain. Addressing them will require a more resilient and adaptable approach, one that can respond to disruption while maintaining predictability.

Innovation, supported by adequate financing and a competitive Single Market, will be central to strengthening the reliability of production and supply. At the same time, deeper international cooperation can help reinforce both the security and sustainability of food systems. With so much on our plate, today’s decisions will define how effectively Europe’s food systems can anticipate and respond to future shocks.
