POSITION PAPER

EuropaBio position paper on the Farm to Fork Strategy

Key takeaways:

- EuropaBio welcomes the Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy published as part of the European Green Deal and fully supports the ambition to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable food system.
- The EU should ensure a science-based, proportionate and predictable regulatory approach to biotechnology innovation, including new genomic techniques, that would also contribute to ensuring that the best tools are available to help effectively realize the ambitious Green Deal objectives.
- The EU should adopt concrete and pragmatic measures to support the uptake and use of bio-based alternatives for sustainable crop cultivation.
- It is important to use meaningful and objective environmental footprint indicators for all farming models.

Algal Omega 3

Algal Omega-3 is an innovative feed product for aquaculture. It reduces the impact on climate change by 30-40% compared to fish oil and saves 60 tons of wild fish for every ton of Algal Omega-3 used.

Cheese

Cheese is a vegetarian product thanks to biotechnology. Biotechnology is also essential to produce lactose- or cholesterol-free cheese, as well as alternative proteins.

Clothes

Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.

Vitamin B2

The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.

Detergents

Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.

Insulin

Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.
