Ca. whereas the implementation of this strategy will have to take into account the different starting points and differences in potential for improvement of the various Member States and their regions; whereas, consequently, the transition to a healthy and sustainable food system will naturally have an impact on the economic fabric of many EU regions, such as the outermost regions, with natural disadvantages, such as distance, the fact that they are islands, small surface area, rugged terrain, harsh climate and undiversified agricultural sectors that account for a large proportion of their economies; whereas, on the other hand, there is potential for the exploitation of those regions’ renewable resources and biodiversity;
