October 16 – On the United Nations’ World Food Day 2013 themed “Healthy People depend on Healthy Food Systems”, and after contributing to the European Commission’s consultation on a Sustainable Food Systems, EPHA launch a position paper on the issue to add to an ongoing debate between Civil Society, policy-makers and other stakeholders.
What we eat and how our food is produced and consumed is important for our health – health is a prerequisite for economic growth and inclusive societies. The challenge for food policy in this century is how to sustain the Earth’s physical, living and human resources, while producing enough food to feed a growing world population.
Agriculture, food and good nutrition are all about healthy people, healthy communities and the future well-being of our planet.
