EU Food System Monitoring Dashboard | European Commission, Joint Research Centre
The EU Food System Dashboard is a tool developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) to monitor the sustainability of the EU food system from an environmental, economic and social perspective, based on a set of indicators. This tool will evolve over time, in line with scientific, technical and policy developments. Indicators in the dashboard, or the data used to calculate them, come from publicly accessible official data sources (such as statistics), or peer-reviewed scientific research. When analysed together, these indicators can improve understanding of the state of play and trends in food system sustainability.
