The EU's farm to fork strategy: An assessment from the perspective of agricultural economics

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) April 04, 2022

The war in the Ukraine underlines the importance of food production for food security. EU policy makers have to be aware about the implications of the farm-to-fork strategy for food security. According to the European Commission "The Farm-to-Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy, and environmentally-friendly"

In the new article "The EU's farm to fork strategy: An assessment from the perspective of agricultural economics" published in AEPP, Justus Wesseler from Wageningen University dives deeper into the implications of the EU farm-to-fork strategy for sustainable development.

Wesseler says, "The quantitative assessment of benefits and costs by previous studies indicates that the farm-to-fork strategy will reduce welfare within the EU. This will fuel consumer price inflation at EU and international level. Additional policy changes are necessary for translating the farm-to-fork strategy into a welfare increasing policy strategy."
