Ensure food security, nutrition, and public health.Preserve and restore the land and sea-based resources.Ensure food production, transport, distribution, marketing, and consumption have a neutral or positive environmental impact.The Farm to Fork strategy intents to lead a global transition to competitive sustainability from farm to fork, as stated in its goals:

This is why the strategy declares that “there is an urgent need to reduce dependency on pesticides and antimicrobials, reduce the use of fertilisers, increase organic farming, improve animal welfare, and reverse biodiversity loss”. It also recognizes that our food and farming systems are responsible for about a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and almost 70% of all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to animal production. The Farm to Fork strategy is at the heart of the Green Deal and “addresses comprehensively the challenges of sustainable food systems in a comprehensive way, recognising the inextricable links between healthy people, healthy societies and a healthy planet”. As “new growth strategy, the European Green Deal is meant to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy without net emissions of greenhouse gases and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use by 2050″.

In December 2019, the European Commission unveiled the European Green Deal, aiming to make Europe the first carbon-neutral continent. One of the several strategies to realise the Green Deal is the Farm to Fork strategy, published in May 2020.
