As part of the TrueFoodS project, Ecologic Institute led a comparative legal and policy analysis of nine CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs), through which Member States define their agricultural priorities and planned support measures for 2023–2027. Using a common analytical framework covering eight post-harvest stages and five sustainability dimensions, the assessment examined the extent to which post-harvest activities are reflected in strategic priorities and supported through planned CAP interventions.

The TrueFoodS project, funded under the European FutureFoodS Partnership, aims to make Europe’s post-harvest systems more sustainable, equitable, and resilient. The project adopts an integrated Food Systems Approach that considers environmental, economic, social, and regulatory dimensions.
