Urban Food Policy in de EU
Food systems are responsible for about 30% of global emissions, so they cannot be neglected as more cities aim to become climate neutral and to fight the increasingly visible effects of climate change.
At a time of successive crises, it is urgent to act on food systems so everyone can access healthy, nutritious and quality food.
The basic fuel of cities and their people, food systems must evolve to become more ecological, resilient, fair for producers and consumers, circular and healthy.
European cities are already acting and co-creating measures and policies with local people and food stakeholders to limit food systems’ impact on climate and the environment, improve people’s wellbeing, shorten and strengthen production chains, and guarantee access to good food for all.
