On the 12th and 13th of September 2023, Healthy Food Healthy Planet gathered over 30 representatives of civil society organisations and funders in Geneva, at its first retail co-creation workshop. A small call for proposals was published via social media and on the HFHP website in June to invite and select different organisations to be part of the workshop.

HFHP’s aim was to foster cross-country and cross-sectoral collaborations by supporting the co-creation of projects or campaign ideas looking to move retailers into shaping healthier, more sustainable, and fairer food environments and food systems. Supermarkets decide what we are offered to eat, set prices for both producers and consumers, employ hundreds of thousands of people directly or indirectly, and can therefore have a major impact on every aspect of the food chain.

On the 12th of September the day started by sharing and learning around different approaches to move retailers by listening to organisations’ successes and challenges in using different methods such as advocacy, investigative reporting, benchmarking, and grassroots organising.

Then, we got to a shared understanding of the purpose of the workshop, which was by led by an independent facilitator, and the process that would follow. After a quick check in and warm up, the first exercise aimed to create a shared picture of the perceptions and knowledge in the room of who the leaders and laggards are across Europe and among retailers when it comes to:

  1. Offering unsustainable food.
  1. Supporting farmers to transition to more sustainable options.
  1. Respecting workers’ rights throughout the value chain.
  1. Using marketing power to promote more plant-based alternatives and more sustainable diets.
  1. Wielding their lobby power to advocate for better legislation.

In the afternoon, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere aiming to spark creativity, a first round of a guided brainstorming process started. Ideas came up as they went, then were developed, filtered, and prioritised.  

After a rich and intense first day of collective work, we were lucky to have an amazing dinner at Cuisine Lab, a socially inclusive and sustainable restaurant supporting refugees and asylum seekers living in Geneva.

On the second day of the workshop, we continued connecting with others by deep listening to personal stories of motivation. Our brainstorming session ended in a gallery walk to better understand what each campaign idea entailed and reflect on where opportunities for collaboration might lie. The afternoon gave space for groups to continue developing six project ideas. We hope this first co-creation workshop will have been the beginning of fruitful collaborations that Healthy Food Healthy Planet expects to fund in the near future.

On the 12th and 13th of September 2023, Healthy Food Healthy Planet gathered over 30 representatives of civil society organisations and funders in Geneva, at its first retail co-creation workshop. A small call for proposals was published via social media and on the HFHP website in June to invite and select different organisations to be part of the workshop.

HFHP’s aim was to foster cross-country and cross-sectoral collaborations by supporting the co-creation of projects or campaign ideas looking to move retailers into shaping healthier, more sustainable, and fairer food environments and food systems. Supermarkets decide what we are offered to eat, set prices for both producers and consumers, employ hundreds of thousands of people directly or indirectly, and can therefore have a major impact on every aspect of the food chain.

On the 12th of September the day started by sharing and learning around different approaches to move retailers by listening to organisations’ successes and challenges in using different methods such as advocacy, investigative reporting, benchmarking, and grassroots organising.

Then, we got to a shared understanding of the purpose of the workshop, which was by led by an independent facilitator, and the process that would follow. After a quick check in and warm up, the first exercise aimed to create a shared picture of the perceptions and knowledge in the room of who the leaders and laggards are across Europe and among retailers when it comes to:

  1. Offering unsustainable food.
  1. Supporting farmers to transition to more sustainable options.
  1. Respecting workers’ rights throughout the value chain.
  1. Using marketing power to promote more plant-based alternatives and more sustainable diets.
  1. Wielding their lobby power to advocate for better legislation.

In the afternoon, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere aiming to spark creativity, a first round of a guided brainstorming process started. Ideas came up as they went, then were developed, filtered, and prioritised.  

After a rich and intense first day of collective work, we were lucky to have an amazing dinner at Cuisine Lab, a socially inclusive and sustainable restaurant supporting refugees and asylum seekers living in Geneva.

On the second day of the workshop, we continued connecting with others by deep listening to personal stories of motivation. Our brainstorming session ended in a gallery walk to better understand what each campaign idea entailed and reflect on where opportunities for collaboration might lie. The afternoon gave space for groups to continue developing six project ideas. We hope this first co-creation workshop will have been the beginning of fruitful collaborations that Healthy Food Healthy Planet expects to fund in the near future.
