EFSA Strategy 2027 – Science, safe food, sustainability

This document comes at a historical point in time for EFSA: an amendment to the General Food Law came into effect in 2021 that increased its responsibilities towards EU citizens; EU-wide policy developments, such as the Green Deal actions and in particular the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and the Biodiversity Strategy, have been announced and will shape the focus of its activities in the years ahead; and the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has, and will, require it to adapt to new ways of working. It is against this backdrop that EFSA has prepared its Strategy 2027. It sets out how EFSA intends to respond to this changing environment, describing the added value it proposes to its customers, partners, stakeholders, and the public at large.
