This study is the third in a series of three research papers, prepared for a PECH Committee Workshop. It explores how initiatives within the European Green Deal may impact food security in fisheries and aquaculture. The Farm to Fork Strategy’s aim of sustainable food production indicates prioritising low-trophic species like bivalves and algae. ‘Fit for 55’ requires greater fuel efficiency and a transition to clean energy by the fishing fleet. A net positive long-term impact on food security is expected from sustainable production. As two thirds of the EU’s seafood consumption is imported, such ambitions should be extended to non-EU country producers.Source : © European Union, 2023 - EP
