Over the past two decades, European governments have increasingly recognized the complexity of food systems and the need for evidence-based, effective policy interventions to address challenges such as food safety, health, sustainability, and food insecurity. However, many policy interventions have had mixed results, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of the policy landscape. This chapter presents European Food Policy Database (EU F-POD) and its underlying classification framework, as a resource for mapping and classifying food policies and analyzing the interactions between policies and their impacts on different stakeholders. Drawing from the information provided in this database, the chapter discusses the current state of food policies, highlighting gaps and opportunities in interventions that can enable food systems to address the challenges of food security, climate change and the promotion of healthy and sustainable diets.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, European governments have increasingly recognized the complexity of food systems and the need for evidence-based, effective policy interventions to address challenges such as food safety, health, sustainability, and food insecurity. However, many policy interventions have had mixed results, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of the policy landscape. This chapter presents European Food Policy Database (EU F-POD) and its underlying classification framework, as a resource for mapping and classifying food policies and analyzing the interactions between policies and their impacts on different stakeholders. Drawing from the information provided in this database, the chapter discusses the current state of food policies, highlighting gaps and opportunities in interventions that can enable food systems to address the challenges of food security, climate change and the promotion of healthy and sustainable diets.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
