Wild Talks
#wildtalks A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
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?

-Landsparing (for diversity protection) is possible also via agroforestry, but also if more gree (from micro to macro) is left in other areas: streets, the whole comple and surfaces of urban landscapes and peripheries, facades. Although urban agriculture will not solve the problem, it is quite important, because it "communicates" literacies and nurture our social tissue (ediblecitiesnetwork
-Regarding the interlink between agriculture and economy: agriculture is basis for the production of healthy nutrition. Thus an agriculture taht it is not environmental friendly is detrimental for EU citizens (and planet) health, i.e. thinking economically: it also causes diseases from overweight to respiratory and hormonal diseases.
In this sense ecological friendly practices and products must have lower taxes or be free of them, since on the long term, they contribute to healthy societies. Just think about of the millions of euros invested by EU to reasearch diabetes of children and young people.
