Biodiversity loss is a serious threat to our planet. As a major buyer of agricultural raw materials, the EU food and drink sector is highly dependent on healthy ecosystems, both across Europe and further afield. Stakeholders have an important role in helping to deliver the EU’s objectives under the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy.
We need an ambitious and holistic policy, based on scientific data and impact assessments, to deliver these objectives without negatively affecting other aspects of sustainability including food security, food safety and competitiveness.
