Abstract More than half of adults in the European Union (EU) are now either overweight or obese (53%). Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), many of which are diet-related, account for 70% of mortality in Europe and a growing share of healthcare costs. While eating habits have an important role to play in NCD prevention, consumption patterns across the EU are diverging significantly from recommended diets. There is growing consensus on the solution: a series of coordinated and wide-ranging policy interventions to build healthy ‘food environments’. This article argues that EU governance structures remain ill-adapted to the systemic nature of this and other challenges in food systems (e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss, food poverty): conflicting objectives and missed synergies are identified between different policy areas (agriculture, trade, health, environment, etc.) and between different levels of governance (EU, national, local). An integrated food policy framework – a ‘Common Food Policy’ – is therefore required to meet the EU’s public health and sustainability objectives. It identifies four distinct aspects of the governance shift required to promote healthy diets and build sustainable food systems in Europe: (i) coherence across policy areas; (ii) coherence across governance levels; (iii) governance for transition; and (iv) food democracy. Blueprints for a Common Food Policy are already emerging, and are ripe for consideration, development, and implementation by the European institutions.

欧洲的“共同粮食政策”:治理改革如何引发向健康饮食和可持续粮食系统的转变

摘要 欧盟 (EU) 超过一半的成年人现在超重或肥胖 (53%)。非传染性疾病 (NCD),其中许多与饮食有关,占欧洲死亡率的 70%,并且在医疗保健成本中所占的份额越来越大。虽然饮食习惯在预防非传染性疾病方面发挥着重要作用,但整个欧盟的消费模式与推荐的饮食有很大不同。解决方案越来越多的共识:一系列协调和广泛的政策干预,以建立健康的“食物环境”。本文认为,欧盟治理结构仍然不适应粮食系统中这一挑战和其他挑战(例如气候变化、生物多样性丧失、粮食贫困)的系统性:不同政策领域(农业、贸易, 健康、环境等)以及不同级别的治理(欧盟、国家、地方)之间。因此,需要一个综合的食品政策框架——“共同食品政策”——来满足欧盟的公共卫生和可持续性目标。它确定了在欧洲促进健康饮食和建立可持续粮食系统所需的治理转变的四个不同方面:(i) 跨政策领域的一致性;(ii) 治理层级的一致性;(iii) 过渡治理;(iv) 食物民主。共同食品政策的蓝图已经出现,可供欧洲机构考虑、制定和实施的时机已经成熟。因此,需要一个综合的食品政策框架——“共同食品政策”——来满足欧盟的公共卫生和可持续性目标。它确定了在欧洲促进健康饮食和建立可持续粮食系统所需的治理转变的四个不同方面:(i) 跨政策领域的一致性;(ii) 治理层级的一致性;(iii) 过渡治理;(iv) 食物民主。共同食品政策的蓝图已经出现,可供欧洲机构考虑、制定和实施的时机已经成熟。因此,需要一个综合的食品政策框架——“共同食品政策”——来满足欧盟的公共卫生和可持续性目标。它确定了在欧洲促进健康饮食和建立可持续粮食系统所需的治理转变的四个不同方面:(i) 跨政策领域的一致性;(ii) 治理层级的一致性;(iii) 过渡治理;(iv) 食物民主。共同食品政策的蓝图已经出现,可供欧洲机构考虑、制定和实施的时机已经成熟。(iii) 过渡治理;(iv) 食物民主。共同食品政策的蓝图已经出现,可供欧洲机构考虑、制定和实施的时机已经成熟。(iii) 过渡治理;(iv) 食物民主。共同食品政策的蓝图已经出现,可供欧洲机构考虑、制定和实施的时机已经成熟。
