Income is spent or reinvested, encouraging specialisation and larger-scale production.\n- **Ecological, health & social limits**: Food production affects natural resources, health, and income distribution. Intensification raises efficiency but can increase environmental pressures.\n- **Innovation**: Technological and social innovation improves efficiency and sustainability. Digitalisation, automation, and alternative farming systems are increasingly important.\n- **Non-physiological needs**: Demand for convenience and enjoyment encourages processed foods, while marketing, prices, and time pressure influence consumption.\n- **Liberalisation**: Free trade and investment increase internationalisation and vertical integration, improving efficiency but potentially increasing market concentration.\n- **Policies**: Policies influence the entire food system and respond to environmental, health, and social concerns at EU, national, and regional levels",{"type":23,"index":31,"variation":32,"imageURL":33,"title":34,"description":35},2,"image_right","https://planeateu.retool.com/api/file/edc45880-dd64-4c2e-9d93-25edfd277dc8",{"en_GB":21},{"en_GB":36},"Key innovations for food system change: \n- **True Cost Accounting**: Makes the **hidden environmental, social, and health costs of food visible and reflected in decision-making**, so prices and investments better represent food’s true societal costs. \n- **Subsidies and Taxes for Ecosystem Services**: Uses **financial incentives and taxation** to reward environmentally beneficial practices and discourage activities that damage ecosystems. \n- **Broad Re-valuing of Food**: Changes how society **values food beyond its market price**, giving greater importance to health, sustainability, social well-being, and the broader societal value of food. \n- **Alternative Proteins**: Promotes a shift from conventional animal proteins toward **plant-based and other alternative protein sources**, supported by innovation, investment, production, and consumer adoption. \n- **Community-Based Initiatives**: Strengthens **local, community-led food systems**, such as short supply chains and alternative food networks, to increase local participation, sustainability, and connections between producers and consumers.",{"type":38,"index":39,"variation":40,"title":41,"button1":43,"button2":47,"button3":51,"button4":53},"button_group",3,"title_top",{"en_GB":42},"Read more",{"URL":44,"label":45},"https://planeateu.retool.com/api/file/d7e06135-7893-492e-abec-42568d8f0add",{"en_GB":46},"Summary",{"URL":48,"label":49},"https://planeateu.retool.com/api/file/36852232-cffd-4bbb-a862-db4acdd3d6c1",{"en_GB":50},"Full report",{"URL":21,"label":52},{"en_GB":21},{"URL":21,"label":54},{"en_GB":21},{"type":38,"index":56,"variation":40,"title":57,"button1":59,"button2":63,"button3":67,"button4":69},4,{"en_GB":58},"Scientific publications",{"URL":60,"label":61},"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422425000802",{"en_GB":62},"Configurations of leverage points for the deliberate acceleration of ideal-type transition pathways in the EU food system",{"URL":64,"label":65},"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-026-01872-2?utm_source=rct_congratemailt&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=oa_20260821&utm_content=10.1007%2Fs11625-026-01872-2",{"en_GB":66},"Leveraging change: a soft systems approach to transforming the EU food system",{"URL":21,"label":68},{"en_GB":21},{"URL":21,"label":70},{"en_GB":21},{"type":38,"index":72,"variation":40,"title":73,"button1":75,"button2":79,"button3":81,"button4":83},5,{"en_GB":74},"Learn more from another project: FEAST",{"URL":76,"label":77},"https://zenodo.org/records/15512496",{"en_GB":78},"FEAST -
