Keynote speakers

The EU Farm to Fork strategy has called for advancing and harmonizing sustainability labelling on food products, in addition to developing a proposal for a mandatory front of pack nutrition labelling. The presentation will assess the literature on these types of labels. The aim is not to provide a complete literature review of all empirical studies assessing the effectiveness of such labels, but to identify and organize the open questions regarding the use of labels, encompassing scores or informative apps for signalling the sustainability of food.
