One of the things I associate with life in the #EU is quality food.

What is the #EUPolicy scheme that protects traditional production of food & wine , where at least one of the stages of production, processing or preparation takes place in a specific region. In the case of wine, this means that at least 85% of the grapes used have to come exclusively from the geographical area.

61% of you knew the right answer! It's called a Protected Geographical Indication. There is also the protected designation of origin.
If you start paying attention as you shop, you might start to notice these labels on your food and wine!

In Europe, millions of people struggle with food insecurity. Many more cannot afford a healthy and adequate diet. Moreover, farmers and food workers cannot make a living, and sustainability is often compromised because of lack of political will and resources.
At the same time, few actors along the chain and few investors accumulate huge profits out of small-scale producers, unhealthy diets and speculation.
