The Farm to Fork strategy is a milestone EU policy framework that promotes the sustainable and just transition of food systems in the continent. The Farm to Fork strategy advocates environmentally sound practices, including chemical-free and organic agriculture, with neutral or positive environmental effects. Sceptics of the Farm to Fork strategy point to its conceptually ambiguity, lack of legal action, policy incoherence with EU agricultural policy, and implementation challenges.

Aquaculture describes the controlled farming of aquatic organisms, and has become an important part of food production in the modern world. Modern aquaculture began as a result of declining wild fish stocks from overfishing and growing populations. The two main forms of aquaculture are freshwater and marine aquaculture; within these two forms, there are a number of different methods used for a wide variety of aquatic species.
