At the crossroads of climate change, the decisions we make today about the paths forward to support food production, processing and consumption in the EU will greatly determine the sustainability, food security and business profitability of our continent in the future. Small producers have an important role. The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) has dedicated a day for the first time to addressing agriculture, food and their environmental impact. The overall results of this study show an alarming deficit of dietary kcal in the European Union.
