Mission & Goals
The European Alliance for Plant-based Foods (EAPF) brings together like-minded organisations in the plant-based value chain around a unique mission: To put plant-based foods at the heart of the transition towards more sustainable and healthy food systems. We represent the entire plant-based value chain: Food producers and manufacturers, NGOs, nutritionists, research & academia and consumers. More people are turning to plant-based foods – products made from vegetables, grains, pulses (including soy), nuts, fungi, algae – out of concerns for environmental pollution, human health or animal welfare. The Alliance strives for making this shift a reality, allowing consumers to access true, safe and sustainable alternatives to animal-based products.
EU Legislative Interests
The Alliance focuses on all policies and legislation that touch upon plant-based foods - from sustainability to health, from agriculture to markets. We particularly focus on (non-exhaustive list): - The European Green Deal - The Farm to Fork Strategy - Common Organisation of Markets in agricultural products - Sustainable/green claims - Sustainable public procurement - Food labelling and denominations - Nutrition - Research and innovation programmes
Communication Activities
The Alliance takes part in events organised by non-institutional and institutional stakeholders related to EU policies pertaining to sustainable food systems and the regulatory topics mentioned above, where relevant.
