SUSTAINABILITY

Why sustainability

Because we firmly believe that the European agri-food sector can make a positive contribution to environmental conservation.

Because we are a sector committed to all members of society, promoting their safety and well-being.

Because we contribute to a more prosperous economic future.

Environmental Sustainability

We say that agriculture is environmentally sustainable when it does not compromise any of its constituent elements: flora, fauna, natural resources and other agents such as air.

This is why EU agriculture is considered to be one of the most sustainable in the world in this area, thanks in part to strategies such as the Green Deal and From Farm to Fork.

Social Sustainability

On the other hand, when the cultivation or production of food contributes neutrally or favourably to the safety and welfare of people and animals, it is said to be sustainable with society.

In this way, European farmers and breeders are implementing technical innovations that have positive effects on human and animal welfare.

Economic Sustainability

Thirdly, without a future there is no progress, which is why agriculture needs to ensure economic prosperity for all those working in the sector.

That is why EU agriculture is based on the principle of the circular economy to minimise economic waste and ensure that no member of society is left behind, no matter where they live.
