Abstract

The 2023 Annual Conference of the Law Group at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) explored the future trajectory of EU food law beyond the Farm to Fork Strategy, delving into topics often overlooked in policy discussions.

Moving from the (lack of) a legislative proposal for the Framework for Sustainable Food System (SFSF), the conference aimed to reassess the legal architecture of the EU food system, fostering critical discourse on topics such as sustainability in the agri-food chain, food system governance, corporate due diligence, the OneHealth approach, animal law, risk regulation, and food system thinking.

Insights from the conference reflected the need for reformation in some food law approaches, particularly in how incorporating sustainability and innovation.

The establishment of the Food Law Academic Networks (FLAN) emerged as a pivotal initiative to further interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in shaping sustainable food systems. Acknowledging the global food system's complexity, the paper concludes
by proposing key research questions for shaping the future agenda of food law.
