Agri-Food: A study denounces the government's "guilty inaction" on the food transition of supermarkets

According to the association committed to combating climate change, major brands still have much to do to promote a healthier and sustainable diet, even though progress has been made in recent years.

In this study published on Tuesday, the Climate Action Network evaluates the French supermarket brands on their contribution to a healthy and sustainable diet. In particular, it points to the preponderance of ultra-processed meat products in the shelves "to the detriment of quality vegetable foods".

Despite the objectives of the 2030 Ecophyto Plan, France lags behind the European average in reducing pesticide use.

Despite some progress, French supermarkets are lagging behind on the food transition, according to a study published by the Climate Action Network on Tuesday.
