[1/7] Today PFP are holding their Annual Forum on “Rising to the challenges of climate change and energy supplies”. PFP invited experts, incl. Ricard Ramon, Deputy Head of Unit Policy Perspectives at EU Agriculture🌱, to present their views on these pressing issues. #PFPForum2022

[2/7] Primary food processors play a vital role in securing Europe’s #food sovereignty. But the #EU #agrifood supply chain is heavily impacted by the unprecedented increase in #energy costs. The sector is under extraordinary pressure. #PFPForum2022

[3/7] #Energy costs have risen dramatically, part. since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The continuous high volatility of energy costs led to short-term solutions in some Member States, to ensure facilities can continue to operate & guarantee #foodsecurity in the EU. #PFPForum2022

As recession is looming in a context of inflation due to high #energy prices: “How much fiscal space is left to support the energy transition going forward?”questions Diana-Paula Gherasim Institut français des relations internationales #PFPForum2022 #GreenDeal

The food chain needs immediate and effective solutions to secure its economic sustainability, tackle soaring #energy costs and continue providing #food and #drink products to consumers at affordable prices. #PFPForum2022
