A new report by the World Bank stresses that agrifood emissions could prevent climate goals. To hit net zero by 2050, plant-based foods must lead the way! Let's act now 🤝 #PlantOurFuture 📰 openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publi…

🌱 Plant-based foods are vital for the EU’s future, addressing climate, health, and food security challenges. Get to know more about our vision and strategy by checking our manifesto: plantbasedfoodalliance.eu/wp-content/upl…

Following our event last week, we had a fantastic gathering of the EAPF Advocacy Working Group! 🌱 The energy and collaboration in the room were truly inspiring as we work together to drive the transition toward more plant-based diets. Join us to #PlantOurFuture 💪🌍

A sustainable EU starts on our plates! 🌍 Let’s make plant-based choices affordable and accessible for all. 📖 Read our Call to Action now: plantbasedfoodalliance.eu/wp-content/upl… #PlantOurFuture #PlantBased

To foster food environments where plant-based options are widely accessible, the Commission must prioritise the adoption of a Plant-Based Food Action Plan by 2026, as called for in the Strategic Dialogue’s conclusions. 📖 plantbasedfoodalliance.eu/wp-content/upl…

🌱 It’s a myth that #PlantProteins are ‘inferior’ to animal proteins. All plant foods have all essential amino acids, just in varying amounts. Eating a varied diet with a mix of #PlantBased foods throughout the day provides your body with all the #AminoAcids it needs. 💪

It is great to see the momentum for an EU Action Plan for #PlantBased Foods growing across sectors! 130+ organizations, including #EAPF members, along with representatives from the consumer, food, environmental & health sectors, have come together in a unified joint position ⤵️

EAPF is proud to have signed this new position paper calling for the inclusion of sustainable #protein diversification in the European Commission's Food & #Agriculture Vision. 🌍 Read it here: lnkd.in/duxQRCmz

The Commission’s Vision for Agriculture & Food is a cautious attempt to tackle the mounting challenges in the agri-food sector. While it acknowledges the need for action, it lacks a clear policy roadmap to drive real change. Our position: tinyurl.com/3yxvetmx

🌱 To build a resilient and sustainable food system, the EU must take action. EAPF envisions a dedicated plant-based food action plan with key elements to drive this transition. Discover them below! ⬇️ #PlantOurFuture #PlantBasedFood #SustainableDiets #PlantBased

Transforming our food system is essential to improve the EU's strategic autonomy. Through innovation and education, we can promote plant-based diets, accelerate sustainability, & strengthen the region's competitiveness. 🌱 Be part of the change: ➡️ tinyurl.com/yc5wwyp6

🇪🇸Spain just moved to recognise plant-based meals in schools. This new legal framework explicitly allows families to request special meals for ethical or conscience-based reasons, which includes the right to access 100% plant-based menus. Unión Vegetariana 👏 euroveg.eu/spanish-govern…

Consumers are not concerned about using names like ‘veggie burger’ or ‘plant-based sausage’, as long as it’s clear the product is #vegetarian or #vegan. This is a clear signal to #EU policymakers that people value clarity & are in favor of harmonised, evidence-based labelling. 💡

Consumers deserve access to clear information that enables them to choose sustainable and healthy food options. ⚖️Restrictions on terminology for plant-based food products risk limiting transparency, stifling innovation, & adding complexity with no benefits for consumers.

🔍Transparent food labelling is a consumer right, not a regulatory afterthought. Europe needs harmonised, science-based labelling rules that reflect how people make food choices and support the transition to healthier, more sustainable diets.

🧠 Only 9% of consumers don’t recognize plant-based meat alternatives. The current denominations clearly work — for people and for sustainability. Restricting them risks real harm: undermining clarity, limiting consumer choice, and putting the brakes on a growing sector.
