VISION 2030
This report demonstrates how chefs can lead the work to influence policy makers at local, national and regional levels to deliver the Farm to Fork strategy, the biodiversity strategy and the Green New Deal and create a sustainable food policy across the EU. The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transformation to sustainable food systems and ensure that everyone has access to sufficient safe, nutritious and sustainable food. Chefs will be key to this change.
They can transform the food system whilst providing people from all walks of life with diverse, healthy and delicious food that is suitable for all income groups.
