The proposal for a legislative framework for sustainable food systems (FSFS) is one of the flagship initiatives of the Farm to Fork Strategy.
Its goal is to accelerate and make the transition to sustainable food systems easier. It will also have as its core objective the promotion of policy coherence at EU level and national level, mainstream sustainability in all food-related policies and strengthen the resilience of food systems.
A CoR own-initiative opinion would be a way of enabling the regional and local actors to make a significant contribution to the design of the future legislative framework tailored to their needs and expectations.
Indicative timeline for adoption:
- exchange of views on 31 January 2023;
- discussion and adoption in NAT commission on 30 March;
- final adoption at the Plenary session of 24-25 May (tbc).
