Food, Drink & Agriculture
Eating well is at the heart of well-being. But today’s food and drink environments are not conducive to either people’s or the planet’s good health. This EPHA campaign advocates for policies that advance a sustainable food system transformation.
In particular, it works to free Europe’s youth from alcohol and unhealthy food marketing, enable sustainable healthy diets for all, and reinvent the EU’s common agricultural policy.
