Europe’s quality of life depends on a secure, affordable supply of high-quality food, as well as on the health of our natural environment. From farms and fisheries to food systems, coastal towns, and water resilience, the European Commission works to support farmers, fishers, local communities, and biodiversity across all the regions in the EU, with the help of research and innovation. Follow this page for updates on EU policy, funding opportunities, and developments in agriculture, food, fisheries, coastal and rural life. We share information, examples from across Europe, and insights into how the EU is addressing current and future challenges. This page is managed by the relevant departments and agencies of the European Commission.
