The European Vegetarian Union (EVU) has submitted its position to the European Commission’s consultation on the EU’s post-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), urging a rebalancing of budget priorities in line with environmental, competitiveness, food security and public health objectives.

In our submission, we highlight the need for the next EU’s long-term spending plan to support a more sustainable, resilient, and plant-based food system. Given the scope of EVU’s work, our consultation input is limited to the budget that is currently being allocated or should be allocated to the food and agriculture sectors with emphasis on the next Common Agricultural Policy, Research and Innovation funds, as well as food security.

In our view, a holistic and cross-sectoral overview of food and agriculture policies under the MFF should be adopted.

Please find our position submitted to the European Commission below.
