L’Unione europea e la sicurezza alimentare: il contributo della nuova politica agricola comune e delle recenti strategie ambientali elaborate dalla Commissione [The European Union and Food Security: The Contribution of the New Common Agricultural Policy and the Recent Environmental Strategies Drawn up by the Commission]

The purpose of this contribution is to analyse the main characteristics and possible weaknesses of some instruments recently adopted by the European Union to achieve the objective of Food safety and Food security. In particular, given its important role in this area, the focus is on the common agricultural policy and on its secondary legislation sources adopted in 2021, which is studied in their interaction with some important Commission communications on the environment, functionally linked to the well-known European Green Deal. It will thus be possible to understand whether they can affect the original configuration of this policy, foreshadowing for it a wider role in light of the need to protect the ecosystem.
