I also describe how food systems rely on a global economy of dependency and extractivism.

In sum, food systems are part of a cycle b...

Het mededingingsrecht behoort tot de kern van het beleid van de Europese Unie. Europese integratie is voor een groot gedeelte marktintegratie. Rivaliteit tussen onderneming in de Europese arena moet leiden tot meer consumentenwelvaart op de interne markt van de EU. De toepassing en handhaving van het EU-mededingingsrecht zijn krachtig ter hand genomen door de Europese Commissie in de loop van de jaren. Toch staan de Europese regels voor de concurrentie niet op zichzelf. Ook de lidstaten hebbe...

Many of the contemporary global environmental problems are rooted in overexploitation of natural resources. This research looks at over-exploitation and a lack of circularity in the context of the agricultural food system. Despite biotechnological methods being available for the recovery of nutrients and organic matter from waste streams, many of these have not yet been applied to their full potential in the EU. The research identifies legislative gaps and analyses how these may be hampering ...
