Abstract：
Due to the pressures imposed by climate change, the European Union (EU) has been forced to design several initiatives (the Common Agricultural Policy, the European Green Deal, Farm to Fork) to tackle the climate crisis and ensure food security. Through these initiatives, the EU aspires to mitigate the adverse effects of the climate crisis and achieve collective prosperity for humans, animals, and the environment. The adoption or promotion of crops that would facilitate the attaining of these objectives is naturally of high importance. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a multipurpose crop with many applications in the industrial, health, and agri-food sectors. This crop is mainly grown for its fibers or its seed and has recently gained increasing attention. The literature suggests that flax can be grown in several parts of the EU, and potentially has a relatively low environmental impact. The aim of the present review is to: (i) briefly present the uses, needs, and utility of this crop and, (ii) assess its potential within the EU by taking into account the sustainability goals the EU has set via its current policies.
摘要：
由于气候变化带来的压力，欧洲联盟(欧盟)被迫设计了几项举措(共同农业政策，欧洲绿色协议从农场到叉子）解决气候危机并确保粮食安全。通过这些举措,欧盟渴望减轻气候危机的不利影响，实现人类的集体繁荣，动物,和环境。采用或推广有助于实现这些目标的作物自然非常重要。亚麻（LinumusitatissimumL.）是一种多用途作物，在工业上有许多应用，健康,和农业食品部门。这种作物主要因其纤维或种子而生长，最近受到越来越多的关注。文献表明，亚麻可以在欧盟的几个地区种植，并且潜在的环境影响相对较低。本审查的目的是：(I)简要介绍其用途，需要,和这种作物的效用，（ii）通过考虑欧盟通过其现行政策设定的可持续性目标来评估其在欧盟内部的潜力。
