Here's a summary of its main content: Definition & Context. It starts with the FAO definition of food security and notes that while the EU has generally maintained food availability, recent crises — COVID, the war in Ukraine, and climate change — have put global food security under serious strain, leaving at least 225 million people acutely food-insecure in 2024. Threats to EU food security. The presentation identifies multiple risk categories, including market crises, extreme weather, animal diseases, geopolitical instability, energy costs, labour shortages, and cyberattacks — drawing on a 2023 Joint Research Centre study that mapped 28 risks and 9 vulnerability factors. EU responses. Key policy tools discussed include the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Farm to Fork Strategy, and notably the European Food Security Crisis preparedness and response Mechanism (EFSCM) , a coordination body involving all 27 EU member states plus 14 non-EU countries and dozens of stakeholder organizations. Short food supply chains (SFSCs). The presentation highlights that SFSCs are considered strategically important at EU level, with references to the Vision for Agriculture and Food, the EU School Scheme, and proposed amendments to the Common Market Organisation (CMO) that would formally recognize and support short supply chains. Public procurement. A key challenge flagged is that current EU law does not allow local/short supply chain criteria in public tenders — a revision is expected by June 2026.
