An EU agency says Europe’s meat supply could fall by about 14%, and the milk supply by 10%, if the Farm to Fork plan for sustainable food production is implemented.

This could significantly strengthen the market, generating a 24% price increase for beef, triggering a 126% increase in total income for beef production, according to the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the European Commission’s research agency providing independent scientific advice and support to EU policy.
