In this video, we explain what SUSFANS is all about, how the project will align the different EU diets with EU food production an consumtion for ad sustainable food and nutrition security ein Europe
The SUSFANS team met with a committee of 10 officials from the European Commission services for a mid-term “policy review”. This is a new instrument in the Research Executive Agency, meant to promote dialogue between H2020 projects and the EC policy community. Participants came from various policy departments, including DG Research & Innovation, Agriculture & […]
Two graduate students of our NTU TAIWAN team were presenting some of the SUSFANS research results. „Capacity building and quantitative food system analysis“ is the title of the pre-conference workshop 3 of the 30th International Conference of Agricultural Economists (ICAE 2018) in Vancouver. Joel Oporta presented „Life cycle assessment of the production of black soldier fly […]
It is the vision of SUSFANS to contribute to a better understanding of the European food system and to provide tools for policy makers to advance with respect to Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security in Europe. All three dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental and economic – are addressed in the project in a holistic, […]
Shifting towards a more sustainable food consumption pattern is an important strategy to mitigate climate change. In the past decade, various studies have optimised environmentally sustainable diets using different methodological approaches. The aim of the present review was to categorise and summarise the different approaches to operationalise the health aspects of environmentally sustainable diets.
Recent food price spikes and their potential link to an increased demand of biofuels and food, ongoing land use changes, such as conversion of tropical forest to agricultural land, and their relation to Green House Gas Emissions as well as discussions about the so called bio-economy – all these factors have renewed societal and scientific […]
The aim of SUSFANS is to show how nutritional health and food production can be better aligned and to strengthen the existing computational models for key specifics of the EU food system. A core output of SUSFANS will thus be a Toolbox, integrating different agricultural, economic and biophysical models. It is developed within the Work […]
