The food sector is essential to the Catalan economy. A significant share of activity takes place in companies that generate negative externalities, particularly associated with the environment, such as excess water consumption, techniques that impoverish soils or excess livestock excrement. To improve these areas, vertical integration of environmental responsibility in the food sector is needed and it is incumbent on the public administration and the food companies to put tools and resources in place to encourage a transition to more environmentally friendly and sustainable models for the food sovereignty of future generations. It is vital to update and monitor plans for environmental integration and improvement, reduction and management of livestock excrement and reconversion to sustainable fishing, livestock farming and agriculture.
