Summary

A new study published in Nature Food identifies five self-reinforcing barriers that are slowing Europe's transition to a sustainable food system. Despite broad agreement on the need for change due to climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and diet-related health problems, progress remains slow. The research suggests the main obstacle is not a lack of knowledge or willingness to change, but interconnected structural barriers within the European agrifood system that keep the current system in place.
