In October, we released a new Policy Insights publication which explores how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) provides enabling roles to help EU food systems take advantage of better labelling.
Labelling helps consumers to make informed choices about the food and drink that they buy. Food labelling can thus support the transition to sustainable food systems and facilitate the shift towards healthy, sustainable diets in the EU. It also reflects and promotes the cultural richness and diversity of EU food products.
This latest addition to our Policy Insights publication series illustrates the overall context for food labelling in the EU and points out the potential use of CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs) for communication actions aimed at promotion, communication and marketing of food products. Content refers to activities aimed at raising consumer awareness about the importance of healthy diets through Producer Organisations, specialised farm advisory services or cooperation initiatives. The new Policy Insights article also looks at systems currently in place to ensure the reliability of food labelling.
