Food Systems

Our food system has to accommodate a wide range of policy goals: to be sustainable and just; to ensure food and nutrition security; to deliver safe and healthy food; to safeguard the wellbeing of non-human animals that are part of our diet and/or affected by our agricultural system more broadly; to become increasingly circular; to incorporate technological and digital innovation; to remain, and/or become, economically viable; and to respect the limits of our living environment. Law plays a crucial role in achieving these goals and in managing the trade-offs and synergies between them.
