PARIS, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) — The French government published on Wednesday the National Strategy for Food, Nutrition and Climate (SNANC), allowing all French people to access healthy and sustainable food by 2030, through 14 concrete actions.
According to the press release published by the Ministry of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities, food is at the heart of the objectives pursued to improve the health of the French, the resilience of agricultural systems and food sovereignty, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the preservation of biodiversity.
In this context, this national strategy brings together for the first time nutrition, food and climate policies within a single, coherent and ambitious framework. Key actions include communication and awareness-raising around “healthy and sustainable” food, inclusion in the law of transparency on the share of purchases of “sustainable and quality” products in the annual purchases of distributors and commercial catering, as well as reducing the exposure of children and adolescents to advertising and sponsorship for products that are too fatty, too sweet or too salty, across all media, both traditional and digital.
“Eating better means acting for the planet, our health, and supporting quality agriculture: by choosing local and sustainable products, we reduce our carbon footprint, protect biodiversity and promote the work of our farmers. With this strategy, ecology is concretely added to our plates,” declared Monique Barbut, Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature. END
