The rise in agricultural commodity prices because of the conflict in Ukraine is used to urge the European Commission to abandon the "Fork to Fork" (F2F) strategy. The idea put forth is that there is a need to increase production by freeing Europe from environmental constraints. In this blog post, we show that in the short term, support for the most dependent buyer countries and sectors is needed in the face of soaring prices, not increased production. In the medium term, the transition path outlined by the F2F towards greater autonomy and sobriety is the one most likely to strengthen the resilience of the European food system and its contribution to global food equilibria—provided its systemic dimension is truly taken into account.
