Abstract: In the EU, the concept of the sustainable consumer has been present in the public sphere for some time. The concept has been concerned with the consumer in general but provides a good basis for developing the concept of the sustainable food consumer. The need to increase the availability of sustainable food and the need to empower consumers so that they can make informed, healthy, and sustainable food choices may prove to be a key element and glue linking health, agricultural, and environmental aspects. Sustainable food consumption is expected to take into account environmental aspects, as the food production cycle is very significantly responsible for greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants entering the soil and air.
