Summary
As a result of the research, the following contribution is made: an assessment of the achievements of the European “Farm to Fork” Strategy in the EU in general and in our country in particular. The integral goal is to outline the essence and specifics of this European strategy. The following tasks are set: tracing the theoretical foundation of food security; revealing the prerequisites for the implementation of the strategy; establishing the basic requirements and expectations for the sustainability of the agricultural economy in the creation of food chains; revealing the relationship between the effective functioning of agriculture and its technological renovation, aiming for environmentally friendly production and consumption. The thesis being developed asserts that there are prerequisites, interested parties, and a mechanism for implementing the European strategy in both the EU and our country. Its successful realisation requires maintaining a balance of interests in the food chains. The achieved results: justify the need for a strategy against climate change with the aim of generating sustainable growth in agriculture; reveal the prerequisites for achieving the sustainable EU goals, including those of the strategy – an integral part of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP); outline the framework of the strategy that aims to restructure agricultural production based on eco-innovative technologies, with which the EU member states can achieve success, but at the same time it is established that Bulgaria lags behind in the implementation of this process; prove why food security in our country must be elevated to the status of a national priority.
