To this end, as recalled, a public consultation was held and debate was held with all stakeholders in the agri-food chain, consumers, researchers and other areas linked to self-sufficiency and food security.
The ENA will be a reference for the new European Commission, the minister assured, and will serve as a basis for the formulation of public policies in the agri-food sector. It will establish comprehensive, coherent and transversal guidelines to address challenges related to food, food security, sustainability, food production and nutrition.
