Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research has found that EU agricultural trade policies should be renegotiated globally to establish sustainable food systems.<\/h2>\n
The cultivation of soya, palm oil, coffee, cocoa, sugar, or hazelnuts in their countries of origin outside Europe is sustainable in only a minority of instances.<\/p>\n
For example, rainforests are cleared, and valuable grasslands are used for palm oil and cocoa plantations. As well as this, harmful pesticides are used in the cultivation of cocoa and hazelnuts.<\/p>\n
The EU has expressed its share of responsibility for preventing negative consequences for biodiversity and the climate.<\/p>\n
