Sustainable Food Consumption in the EU: Filling the Gaps of the Legal Framework
- Abstract: Sustainable Food Consumption in the EU
  I. Prolegomena
  Since the early sixties, the European Union (EU) has
  strived to approximate national food laws. In the
  aftermath of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
  (BSE) crisis,2 the legal framework for food was
  codified in Regulation EC 178/2002 (EU Food Regulation)
  to assure a high level of protection of the life
  and health of humans. Nevertheless, the EU Food
  Regulation did not take into account environmen

  The growing rate of overweight and obesity and the
  resulting medical costs are leading public authorities
  to explore fiscal and regulatory interventions
  to provide consumers with economic incentives
  to modify their food consumption, thus controlling
  their body weight. In particular, to discourage
  unhealthy eating and limit the population’s intake
  of fatty foods an increasing number of countries

  I. Introduction
  When drawing up and finalizing provisions on consumer
  protection in the area of food law within the
  European Union, its entities work on the basis of
  specific concepts of the consumer. Such concepts
  provide the justification and the basis for the views
  of the trade and the general public, and also provide
  guidelines for the legislators of the Union. The
  extent of consumer protection required d

  Regulation No. 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers (FIC) is
  more than a compilation of labelling laws previously fragmented into several directives
  and regulations. Besides technical aspects such as minimum font size to facilitate better
  legibility or highlighting allergens in the list of ingredients, it contains essentially
  new laws including, to name a few: establishment of mandatory nutrition declaration,

Administration of Agricultural Resources
- Abstract: Administration of Agricultural Resources
  I. Introduction
  Land and water are major agricultural inputs, and
  the quality of those inputs determines, to a large
  extent, the level of yields as well as the quality of
  the crops themselves. Apart from quality, the legal
  administration of land and water also affects the
  efficiency of production.
  China has about 22 percent of the world’s population
  but only 7 percent of the world’s arable land.1

Global Food Standards in the Regulations of Fair Practices in Food Trade

  largely reflect international regulatory trends in this
  sector. The same applies to the regulations associated
  with fair practices in food trade.1 Norway is

The role of Traditional Knowledge in the Safety Assessment of Botanical Food Supplements – ...
- Abstract: The safety assessment of botanicals has been subject of a number of publications and
  recommendations in recent years. These publications have proposed flow charts for the
  safety assessment of botanicals and identified data that would be required to perform
  such risk assessments. An important element, often ignored or undervalued in the various
  systems proposed for the safety assessment, is information and experience from the
  traditional use of the plant or plant prepa
