EAT Europe

Our Mission

Eat Europe is a European multistakeholder organization that aims at stimulating thinking and tabling concrete solutions and proposals to EU decision-makers in order to drive a sustainable, resilient and healthy food systems’ transformation, through an innovative and solid alliance among all its actors: farmers, industry, retailers, academia and consumers. We believe that safeguarding public health must be at the heart of this transformation, by ensuring access to safe, nutritious and wholesome food and supporting food systems that contribute to healthy diets. Innovation should go hand in hand with robust, science-based evidence and the highest standards of food safety, ensuring that new products and production methods serve consumers without compromising their health.

Eat Europe is mobilising to

Promote sustainable and healthy diets

Foster the social and cultural dimension of food

Boost innovation and value tradition

Our Ambition

The transformations underway in food systems must reconcile economic, social, environmental and public health sustainability on an equal footing. This requires close coordination across the food chain and for European institutions to remain open to change, recognising the contribution of millions of farmers and food producers to meeting the expectations of citizens and consumers in the EU and beyond. Safeguarding public health must remain a fundamental objective of food policy, ensuring access to safe, nutritious and wholesome foods while avoiding an excessive reliance on ultra-processed products and production shortcuts whose long-term health effects remain insufficiently understood. New production methods and novel foods should be subject to rigorous, science-based safety assessments and robust evidence before wider adoption. Innovation must go hand in hand with consumer health protection.
