Food Security Through Food Dialogue? : Exploring Political Opinions on the Implementation of the EU Strategic Dialogue’s Policy Recommendations
2025
Decker, Carl Otto
The European food system contributes to environmental degradation and social discontent, promoting widespread protests by farmers and environmentalists across Europe. In response to criticism of the EU Green Deal and the Farm-to-Fork Strategy, the European Commission launched the EU Strategic Dialogue – a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at shaping the future of the EU Food system. Through a quantitative content analysis, this thesis investigates the extent to which the 14 policy recommendations emerging from the Dialogue report address the six dimensions of food security, as defined by the High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition. In addition, the study explores via a survey how political youth organizations in Sweden perceive the recommendations’ implementability. The findings reveal that the coverage of food security is uneven, even if the policy recommendations relate to all six food security dimensions. Most noticable, sustainability emerges as a cross-cutting theme. Moreover, most political youth organizations express broad support for the policy recommendations as adequate measures for food security. However, only a subset of the policy recommendations would likely gain majority support if the youth wings of parliamentary parties were to decide, highlighting political divisions despite shared concern for food security.
