Belgrade Citizens’ Assembly on Food Labelling

The key question of this assembly is what kind of front package labelling could help Serbian citizens decide for more nutritious and environmentally friendly food? To tackle this issue, we engage people in a lively, participatory format which promotes the exchange of different opinions, development of arguments and collective articulation of proposals. The assembly aims to encourage citizens to take a more active role towards processes and phenomena that impact their everyday lives, which have previously often been reserved exclusively for experts and political representatives. The goal is to reach consensus in public interest and the insights participants produce will be presented to relevant institutions and decision-makers as a foundation for future policymaking on food safety, labelling and health.
