Abstract
Description
Growing climate and environmental problems oblige
the search for efficient business solutions. In December 2019, the
European Commission issued a communication on the European
Green Deal strategy, which set ambitious goals in the pursuit of
climate neutrality in 2050.
The presented study is based on a literature review and legal
acts. It identifies the rationale behind the European Green Deal
strategy, its aims and objectives. It also presents the farm-to-fork
strategy, which is intended to contribute to a fair, healthy and en-
vironmentally friendly food system. The transformation will re-
quire committed action from all actors in the food chain, includ-
ing agriculture and the agri-food sector. The challenges faced by
agriculture and the food industry in achieving the objectives of
the strategy have therefore been identified. An attempt was made
to answer the question of what actions should be initiated so that
their implementation in agriculture and the agri-food sector con-
tributes to improving the state of the environment and stabilizing
the climate. Great importance in this regard is attributed to the
implementation of mitigation practices.
