Programme for the training module ‘The 3 As: Environment, Agriculture and Food’
- Is there a relationship between humans and the environment?
- What is the EU doing to protect it?
- Why is the Common Agricultural Policy important?
- What is the EU doing to protect our health?
- What are European quality marks and labels?
Three related topics that can be explored in three stages, depending on the subject of interest.
A for Environment
The environment is everything around us: the natural world from which we draw the resources we need to live. But natural resources are not infinite, and our current level of consumption poses a serious challenge for the future. Protecting the environment means protecting ourselves and future generations.
A for Agriculture
Agriculture is essential for our survival, but it also has a significant impact on the environment, climate and health. Unsustainable farming practices can cause soil, water and air pollution, as well as overexploiting natural resources. The EU promotes more sustainable agriculture that protects the environment and ensures safe, high-quality produce.
A for Food
Food is at the heart of our lives. To protect citizens’ health, the EU has introduced clear and transparent labelling systems: every product must accurately indicate its origin and the route it has taken to reach the consumer. This enables people to make more informed choices and to trace products quickly in the event of any problems. In addition, there is a European network of rapid alert systems to protect citizens from any food-related risks.
