Mission & Goals
Eat Europe is a pan-European multistakeholder organisation that aims at stimulating thinking and tabling concrete solutions and proposals to EU decision-makers to drive a sustainable and resilient food systems' transformation, through an innovative and solid alliance between all actors: farmers, industry, retailers, academia, and consumers. The upheavals underway in the food systems must reconcile economic, social, and environmental sustainability on an equal footing. This calls for close coordination and involvement of all stakeholders in the food chain, and for the European institutions to listen carefully and be open to change their perspective, to allow consumers and producers to thrive. Eat Europe generates dynamics and supports the EU Food Systems' Transformation, leaving no one behind.
