EU Subsidies Making Healthy Food Costly | Europe News

A new UN report reveals that Europe’s farm subsidy system is secretly making healthy food outrageously expensive—pushing the cost of a nutritious meal up 36% since 2021. The EU’s decades-old Common Agricultural Policy funnels billions into grains and meat, leaving fruit and veg farmers struggling. As a result, veggies now make up 60% of a healthy meal’s price tag, while grains cost just 13%. For the average person, that means an extra dollar per meal—far worse than the global average. The fix? Shift subsidies to produce farmers, invest in labor-saving tech, cut waste, and boost transparency. With the next big farm policy debate looming, change may finally be on the horizon.
