Abstract A new food policy coherent with the goal of achieving sustainable food systems implies changing visions and radically revising the understanding of the system on which agricultural and food-related policies act. This paper identifies and discusses policy processes that contribute to sustainable food systems in Europe. Based on a conceptual framework that links the policy cycle approach to transition theories, we (i) assess the evolution of policy cycles of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to highlight how the food and nutrition concepts have evolved and been reframed throughout the five phases of the CAP, (ii) map and classify available policy instruments to assess potential synergies and gaps in view of their reorganization and (iii) indicate and discuss strategic tools for sustainable food policies. This contribution goes beyond the current literature highlighting the obstacles which hinder the transition to a policy regime that embodies the nexus among food and nutrition security, natural capital preservation and climatic and social justice, and proposing new avenues for food policy studies.

政策过程如何消除欧洲可持续粮食系统的障碍？为农业食品转型的政策框架做出贡献

摘要 一项与实现可持续粮食系统目标相一致的新粮食政策意味着要改变愿景并从根本上修改对农业和粮食相关政策所依据的系统的理解。本文确定并讨论了有助于欧洲可持续粮食系统的政策过程。基于将政策周期方法与转型理论联系起来的概念框架，我们 (i) 评估了共同农业政策 (CAP) 政策周期的演变，以强调食品和营养概念在五个阶段是如何演变和重新构建的CAP，(ii) 对现有政策工具进行规划和分类，以评估潜在的协同作用和差距，以及 (iii) 指明和讨论可持续粮食政策的战略工具。
