Utrecht University (Future Food) Joins the European Food Forum (EFF)

In a recent development, Utrecht University has become a member of the European Food Forum (EFF). The EFF, established in 2019 by Members of the European Parliament from diverse political groups and countries, focuses on the crucial intersection of food, people, and the planet. The forum promotes open dialogue to address polarized views on food-related issues and is recognized for its commitment to excellence in the European agri-food sector.

As a member, Utrecht University will actively contribute to the EFF's mission of monitoring policy development, promoting a common food policy, supporting consumer-centric policies, and building relationships with institutions interested in food-related matters. This collaborative engagement aligns with Future Foods commitment to promoting sustainable food systems and fostering inclusive dialogue within the food supply chain.

The membership signifies Utrecht University's dedication to actively participating in shaping the future of food policies at both the European and global levels. This engagement with the EFF underscores the university's role in contributing to the collective intelligence of stakeholders involved in ensuring a sustainable and resilient food system.
