Sub-national action is one of the three Levers of Change that we have identified as a key entry point for change. Our ultimate dream for this lever is a world where communities speak up, and their local councils and cities work together with diverse actors to build healthy, just and sustainable food environments. Through the Pooled Fund we are already supporting the EU-wide Buy Better Food campaign to promote local, healthy and fair procurement at schools and public services, coordinated by the Coordination body of Local Authorities called ICLEI.
Beyond the one initiative that is receiving funding, there is obviously a lot more happening among civil society groups. For example, in early March over 60 Food Policy Councils from across Germany came together in Cologne, West Germany. The purpose? To found a strong nationwide network of Food Policy Councils, called the Netzwerk der Ernährungsräte to demand food democracy now!
Food Policy Councils are instrumental in fueling and advancing the debate on climate-friendly, ecologically and socially sustainable change in the agricultural and food system, and are organised in a participatory manner by civil society. As an umbrella organisation, the network will also serve as a point of contact for federal policy-makers, creating the bigger groundswell that is needed for change.
In the words of Valentin Thurn, founder of the Cologne Food Policy and now also national board member.
Today, our food is mainly determined by large agricultural and food corporations that are oriented towards the world market. More and more people want to have a say in where their food comes from and how it is produced.
Similar voices can be found from the emerging Food Policy Council The Hague, which presented its first Food Vision discussion paper to the City Councillor, In Accelerating a Food Vision for The Hague the Council urges the city to update its 10-year old food strategy. As part of its food vision, the council distinguishes four main themes; Participation and democracy, Healthy food environments, Sustainable food production and short regional chains, and Circular economy and innovative entrepreneurship.
Further south, the city of Barcelona has also just adopted a new food strategy with the aim to transform its food system by 2030.
In the UK, the Alliance Sustain, Food Matters and the Soil Association have joined forces to set up Food for the Planet, helping local authorities, businesses and organisations take simple actions to tackle the climate and nature emergency through food. They are even offering small grants of up to 5,000 GBP, open to any local food partnership, local authority, campaign group or community group based in Europe.
Globally, the Plant-Based Treaty has had 21 cities endorse a pathway to stop the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture and to promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets. The C40 Food Systems Network supports 14 cities in their efforts to create and implement integrated food policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase resilience, and deliver positive public health benefits outcomes. The network is led by the City of Milan and delivered in partnership with the EAT Foundation.

In the words of Valentin Thurn, founder of the Cologne Food Policy and now also national board member.
Today, our food is mainly determined by large agricultural and food corporations that are oriented towards the world market. More and more people want to have a say in where their food comes from and how it is produced.
Similar voices can be found from the emerging Food Policy Council The Hague, which presented its first Food Vision discussion paper to the City Councillor, In Accelerating a Food Vision for The Hague the Council urges the city to update its 10-year old food strategy. As part of its food vision, the council distinguishes four main themes; Participation and democracy, Healthy food environments, Sustainable food production and short regional chains, and Circular economy and innovative entrepreneurship.
Further south, the city of Barcelona has also just adopted a new food strategy with the aim to transform its food system by 2030.
In the UK, the Alliance Sustain, Food Matters and the Soil Association have joined forces to set up Food for the Planet, helping local authorities, businesses and organisations take simple actions to tackle the climate and nature emergency through food. They are even offering small grants of up to 5,000 GBP, open to any local food partnership, local authority, campaign group or community group based in Europe.
Globally, the Plant-Based Treaty has had 21 cities endorse a pathway to stop the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture and to promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets. The C40 Food Systems Network supports 14 cities in their efforts to create and implement integrated food policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase resilience, and deliver positive public health benefits outcomes. The network is led by the City of Milan and delivered in partnership with the EAT Foundation.
Sub-national action is one of the three Levers of Change that we have identified as a key entry point for change. Our ultimate dream for this lever is a world where communities speak up, and their local councils and cities work together with diverse actors to build healthy, just and sustainable food environments. Through the Pooled Fund we are already supporting the EU-wide Buy Better Food campaign to promote local, healthy and fair procurement at schools and public services, coordinated by the Coordination body of Local Authorities called ICLEI.
Beyond the one initiative that is receiving funding, there is obviously a lot more happening among civil society groups. For example, in early March over 60 Food Policy Councils from across Germany came together in Cologne, West Germany. The purpose? To found a strong nationwide network of Food Policy Councils, called the Netzwerk der Ernährungsräte to demand food democracy now!
Food Policy Councils are instrumental in fueling and advancing the debate on climate-friendly, ecologically and socially sustainable change in the agricultural and food system, and are organised in a participatory manner by civil society. As an umbrella organisation, the network will also serve as a point of contact for federal policy-makers, creating the bigger groundswell that is needed for change.
