T
hanks to the ‘Join the Food Revolution’
project European citizens have the
chance to be part of a political project
aimed at improving EU food policy.
This web platform provides a space where
people can present their projects and ideas,
proving that whether through small or big
projects, EU citizens can work together
at grassroots level to suggest alternative
practices to the food production model as set
out by current EU legislation.
Whether as an organisation or as a farmer,
fisherman, food professional or member of
the general public, you support, manage or
are part of a project that strives to promote
improvements to the current food system,
this new web tool encourages you to put your
name forward to be added to the ‘Join the
Food Revolution’ community!
If you know of a project, individual or
organisation working towards improving and
reforming the food system, you can invite this
person or organisation to take part in the project.
The project you support does not have to be
enormous or spectacular. A ‘food revolutionary’
should be someone who works at improving
the food systemwhether at local, national or
multinational level. Anyone can be part of the
change in the food system. Your participation in this
collective uprising may result in a strong incentive
for elected European politicians to bring about the
legislative reforms that are needed for European
food policy to become genuinely sustainable.
It is time for food policies to reflect people‘s
concerns. So join the Food Revolution! Sign up
to the Charter and register online to share your
initiatives for reform!
