Integral vision of the sustainability in food production

This presentation will present the main environmental and social impacts derived from food production

worldwide. In addition, the new EU policies and strategies (Green deal, Field-to-table strategy, Biodiversity

Directive, Sustainable Development Goals...) will mean a drastic change in improving the sustainability

(environmental, economic and social) of food production chains, placing it as an international leader in

changing the sustainable production model and promoting circular economy models.

The speaker will review the lines of R + D + i related to improving the sustainability of food production and

consumption. Finally, the concepts of the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for environmental,

economic, and social impact assessment will be presented.
