Research is underway into the optimal management of food resources, and efforts are underway to identify suitable, more efficient alternative tools than existing ones that foster virtuous behavior in terms of both economic sustainability and social well-being in this unique sector of human life. To scientifically evaluate environmental policies in a multilevel interaction process, including by highlighting the potential of so-called waste as reusable goods (beyond the foreseeable liability for unfair or even criminal practices of those involved in the so-called agro-piracy supply chain), it is time to promote the adoption of a global food policy that leads to the full protection of the right to food and the achievement of food sovereignty, which now seem to mark the current frontier of individual and collective rights with a social content. All this, while questioning the normative value of so-called sustainability in the EU legal system: whether it is a general clause or a principle, whether it is sustainability in the direction of prevention or sustainability in the direction of the well-being of both humanity and businesses.
That is, whether the perspective is only that of conservation and restoration, or also that of transition.
