In a global food system, Europe’s imports and their consumption have an environmental, social
and economic impact beyond European borders. In 2013, Europe had net imports of around
27 million tonnes of soybeans and soybean products for oil production and animal feed. This
means Europe is dependent on overseas land for its own livestock production most of which is
in South America.
