Everyone can have a role in transforming the #foodsystem, starting from everyday activities, including the job. I'm trying to do my best engaging the large public in this challenge, and what's your contribution? #worldfoodday #cleverfoodeu

Really looking forward to getting stuck into this discussion! Supply chain and packaging will be some of the key areas we'll be delving into where these brands have found both challenges and solutions. #sustainability #supplychain #packaging

The participation of all actors and their perspectives are essential for designing #sustainable #food systems in Europe. So, how can we ensure that the same exists in the building of the EU Partnership that #FOODPathS is supporting? 🤔 💡 This was the theme of our partner ICLEI Europe's first Mirror Group meeting today, where approximately 20 experts "played" with puzzle pieces to reflect on governance, funding, and other critical parts of an ideal and effective collaboration. Do you want to know more about the #FOODPathS mirror groups? 1️⃣ Visit this website ⏩ https://lnkd.in/gRirddKY 2️⃣ Have a look at the leaflet in which we present the results of a survey we conducted with stakeholders on how to increase the inclusion of actors in the food systems transformation process.

This past week, I had the pleasure to present our ongoing work "Are multi-stakeholders initiatives promoting decarbonization in the food supply chain?" at the 5th International Conference on Global Food Security in Leuven, Belgium. The work is done within the EU H2020 EU Enough Project and assesses perspectives of EU consumers about sustainable food. Are we following a promising path toward an effective sustainable transition? Many thanks to Inmaculada Martinez Zarzoso and Maria Fernandes de Araujo for the enlightening collaboration. #foodsystems #EGD #H2020 #enoughproject #farmtofork #foodsupplychain #foodsecurity

This week, I had the privilege of spending three days in Brussels, engaging with policymakers, grocery retailers, and key stakeholders dedicated to transitioning towards a more sustainable food system. A highlight for me was participating in the FOOD 2030 Networks Conference. There, I introduced the European Sustainable Food Coalition (ESFC) and delved into the future of food & beverage impact assessment and communication alongside important stakeholders from the European Commission, the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, ADEME, Colruyt Group, the World Resources Institute and Wageningen University & Research. My principal message emphasized the urgency of action. We cannot afford to wait for European Institutions to develop a European Sustainable Food Labelling Framework, a process that could take 5-10 years. Instead, it falls upon us — F&B impact assessment solution providers, grocery retailers, F&B brands, the scientific community and NGOs — to unite and establish a framework that not only aligns with the political will of European institutions but also lays the foundational groundwork for policymakers to build upon in the future. The broad support we've received for the ESFC is truly heartening. I am looking forward to collaborating with all involved to lay the necessary groundwork for transitioning our food system into one that can sustainably feed 10 billion people while respecting our planet's boundaries. A big thank you to Natalia Nicholls, Vincent COLOMB, Veerle Poppe, Anne Bordier Yntema, Eva Funcken, laurence bonafos thomas, Drees Peter van den Bosch, Koen Boone, Irina Verweij-Novikova, Caroline Białek, and many others for the inspiring discussions. Your insights and commitment to a sustainable future are invaluable. #SustainableFood #ESFC #FOOD2030

Members of the #SCAR #Food #Systems Working Group gathered in Brussels recently to advance activities under its 3rd Mandate.

I am inspired 🌟 In Geneva, opening of the Global Meeting of #Codex: "Protecting consumer' food safety and trade is the heart ❤️ of our work". Opening by World Health Organization Tedros Ghebreyesus DG and World Trade Organization and FAO Qu Dongyu and Codex Secretariat. Key points from the speech from WHO: 1. prioritize health as non negotiable 2. holistic food system approach 3. scientific evidence is key WTO addressed that Codex standards play a critical role in trade. Countries have different perspectives which we need to consider to expand market opportunities. Chairperson Steven Wearne. He is committed to delivering an inclusive, transparent and resilient Codex based on consensus-driven and science-based food standards.
