This Pocketbook provides the reader with statistical information on how the food chain evolves in Europe; it gives di erent indicators for each step of the production-consumption chain, including food and feed. Its aim is to give a summary of the data currently available in the ‘Food: from farm to fork’ database.

The outline shadows the approach taken by the European Commission on Food Safety Policy, and thus all the indicators presented have been developed with this in mind. This publication may be viewed as a compendium of the data available on food and the food chain within Eurostat.
