Opinion Vicent Martín Ronda: "The project of Dénia in the new look of the European Union"
The document "From farm to farm", published by the European Commission in the Darreres Setmanes, from which the Passada setmana will begin to speak, sets out a strategy aimed at territorial agrifood systems per a eixir of the crisis exacerbated by COVID- 19. This is a proposal that follows, deepens and reinforces, if not more, the path marked by Dénia & Marina Alta Tastinglife of the Creative City of UNESCO.
The strategy is linked to the European Green Pact, which establishes the way to turn Europe into the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It defines a new line of sustainable and integrative growth to boost the economy, improve health and the quality of life of people, take care of nature and not leave anyone behind.
“From the farm to the taula” finally represents the postulate of the EU, in the form of normative and political proposals, which should be a point of change to a way of understanding the economy and the quality of life of European citizens d'ara endavant. The main report defines “just transition”, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis. It has to be, dissortadament, the COVID that will accelerate this process.
This "transition" to sustainable food systems is also defined in the document as an economic opportunity. The citizens are evolving and promoting significant significance in the food market, obrint expectations for farmers, fishermen, aquaculturists, transforming companies and the distribution chain and the set of food services. Among the most outstanding fets is the power of assenyalar:
- That the production, transportation, distribution, marketing and consumption of food has a neutral or positive environmental impact.
- Guarantee food security, nutrition and public health, access to foods that meet high levels of safety, quality, phytosanitary and animal health and well-being.
- Preserving food availability at the same time generates fairer economic performance in the supply chain, so that the most sustainable foods also remain, ultimately, the most affordable.
- Promote technological, digital and natural- and spatial-based solutions to obtain better climatic and environmental results and increase resilience in the face of climate change.
- Reduce and optimize inputs (for example, pesticides and fertilizers).
- Guarantee an easier accés to the mercat per a traditional varietats and locally adapted.
- Promote organic agriculture. It will present a pla d'action on organic agriculture. It will help Member States to stimulate both the supply and demand of ecological products. That, at least, 25% of the EU's agricultural land will be used in organic agriculture from now until 2030.
- Our “ecological regimes” will offer an important source of financing to promote sustainable practices, such as precision agriculture, ecological agriculture, carbon capture in agricultural soils and agroforestry. Member States and the Commission must ensure that strategic plans provide adequate resources and apply these regimes. The Commission will donate support to the introduction of a minimum compartmentalized budget for ecological regimes.
- Stimulate sustainable food processing practices, wholesale and retail trade, hospitality and food services.
- The food industry and the retail sector have to show the cam augmentant the availability i
provision of healthy and sustainable food options in order to reduce the overall environmental impact of the food system. - Promote sustainable food consumption and facilitate the transition to healthy and sustainable diets.
- Study methods to harmonize voluntary ecological declarations and create a sustainable label framework that provides, in synergy with other relevant initiatives, the nutritional, climatic, environmental and social aspects of food products. This will help to ensure that cities, regions and public authorities contribute to the provision of sustainable foods.
- Promote the health of the sun and the foods you will have in order to develop solutions to restore the health of the sun and the functions of this.
- Fast broadband internet in rural areas to achieve the goal of 100% access by 2025.
- Incorporate assessment services, exchange of data and connections, and training. The connections and assessment are fundamental so that all agents of the food system can become sustainable.
- Mitjançant serves as a measure of assessment, will provide information and guidance to farmers and will link the experience of these quests to the research and research projects of the European Association for Innovation. You will greatly appreciate the sustainability of the participating farmers, as well as their income.
- Encourage investment in EU nous projectes mitjançant garanties pressupostàries in the InvestEU Fund or EU taxonomy.
This strategy means an important country for the determined orientation of economic models that support the well-being of people (economy, health, quality of life) with that of ecosystems, and is traditional in legislative proposals, drafting of models, codis and altres eines administratives per planning, evaluating and financing actions. This is a fet clau to be able to donate form to that model that turned the Pacte Verd Europeu into an opportunity to reconcile our food system with the needs of the planet and to respond positively to the aspirations of the Europeans in relation to healthy eating. , equitable and respectful with the environment.
The European Commission has shown the following letters to mark the camí, per prendre the world leader in matters of sustainable food systems, incorporating all sectors and territories, aware that they may be avant-garde for all ells.
Why not think about the agri-food sector as a nova industry transformer of the social canvi, in a rational way and with a commitment to the territory? A nova semblant economy that will represent the irruption of tourism there pels anys seixanta del segle passat. The agro-gastronomic sector will go from being a complement to the tourist offer to diversifying the economy of the region. Some of them are fent.
A Dénia and the Marina Alta tenim l'opportunitat d'avançar-nos, portem a camí Recorregut in the gastronomic sector and is where the conditions per fer-ho. If the agri-food systems are located in the center of development and sustainability, the Marina Alta has a historical position to be a pioneer. This must be a choral bar, viewed and executed in conjunction, looking for the common spaces and the private benefits.
Bodies with Unesco and the European Commission have a special interest in generating pilot experiences to determine the ability to replicate projects in high cities or territories, to validate their effectiveness and to be able to create reference models. The Marina Alta, per location, surface and characteristics, is the best territorial unit for being a model.
