Key messages

  • Food and Energy systems are important drivers of the agricultural production. Demands within these systems has a large influence on specific choices of farmers, and ultimately on our ability to reach environmental targets.
  • Managing sustainably in this context requires balancing the need for affordable products, social wellbeing and fairness, and the protection of the natural resource base, which in return will require explicit acknowledgement of systemic trade-offs.

The newly adopted farm to for strategy provides leverage for changing systemic drivers such as consumer preferences and diets, but further attention is needed on other drivers linked  to developing more sustainable agricultural systems, food supply chains, and to reduce food loss and waste.
