EU mulling trade barriers for unsustainable food imports: ‘The EU alone will not save the planet’ The EU is working to clean up its own food supply chain, from farm to fork. But is this enough? MEPs raise concerns that accepting imports of unsustainable agri-food products is ‘inconsistent’ and ‘unethical’. The European Union has pledged to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. To get there, the Commission is implementing a handful of strategies under its Green Deal. These cover biodiversity, industry, the circular economy, and the most relevant for those in the agri-food sector: The Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy. MEPs have raised concerns that even if the EU achieves a sustainable food system, accepting imports from third countries that do not have their houses in order, would ‘undermine sustainability’. Is realizing a sustainable food system across the bloc enough?
