EU Food and Environmental Law

2026-07-22

Our project is aimed to expand teaching of EU Food Law and EU Environmental Law at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Within the disciplines “EU Food Law” students will learn EU food law and policy, fundamental concepts that govern EU food policy and law – its main actors, procedures, and principles; as well as to facilitate an understanding of how those concepts are implemented and enforced in EU Member States’ legal orders by both public and private enforcement, international legal regulation of food security and world trade in food products. Agricultural and industrial production, distribution and international trade, quality and safety controls, consumer information and health safeguard, environmental protection and bio-productions: these are just a few main facets of the complex prism of different and frequently interlinked activities concerning food. They are all of significant interest for lawyers, business people, advisors and consumer movements, as well as for anyone dealing with food related activities, both profit and non-profit. Moreover, in-depth and focused study from a legal perspective is the basis for a concrete contribution to the pursuit of updated and more efficient legal settings. At the same time the impact of food law affects each and every aspect of the agrifood industries, and so would be of importance to professionals employed in any capacity in the sector. Learning of the discipline “EU Environmental Law” will help to prepare professionals in the sphere of environmental protection. We also plan to inform the wider public about the project and its goals through the YouTube channel and social media (Facebook).
