Food systemsOn 9 March, the Milan Urban Food Policies Pact (MUFPP) and Eurocities are convening a joint high-level event to draw the attention on the importance of developing a comprehensive policy on sustainable food systems and the key role of including cities’ perspectives, achievements and ambitions to reiterate, once more, their essential role in transforming food systems.
Indeed, in 2023, the European Commission will put forward the proposal for a legislative framework for sustainable food systems (FSFS), one of the flagship initiatives of the Farm to Fork Strategy. The goal is to accelerate and facilitate the transition towards more sustainable food systems.
In this sense, European cities are already acting and co-creating measures and policies with citizens and local food stakeholders to limit food systems’ impact on climate and the environment, improve citizens’ well-being, shorten and strengthen production chains, and guarantee access to good food for all.
9 European cities from the MUFPP along with high level experts will join the discussion and share their vision for the future of food in the EU.
