#wildtalks A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
Food and Agriculture
Food is crucial for life, health, and growth, but the way we produce food globally, with big industries, is causing problems. It makes people sick, leads to deforestation, harms biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and often exploits workers in the food sector. How can we change to more sustainable food systems that keep us healthy, protect nature, and treat workers fairly? Can the European Union (EU) take the lead in making this change happen?

As mentioned "Rethinking agriculture" one of the most relevant aspects is to change the paradigm, especially regarding the short term goal centred in efficacy and profit. I 100% agree to support a variety of "environmental-friendly practices (from permaculture to agrofestry), multifunctional landscapes (in the country side and in urban landscapes) and localism. Furthermore, I think, it is important:
-to create knowledge and expertise participative networks and make them much more visible: connect and learn from good practices for small and medium farmers.
- to support "commons" as well as "cooperative"-like structures (financially but also with educational programs, such as ERASMUS+) to empower them and privide them with more tools and structures.
- to create synergies with other areas of EU wellbeing and ecosystem health such as formal and non-formal education (more free and supported programs on a socio-ecological friendly agriculture), and health and nutrition literacy.
