Together we can stop
the climate change

The answer to climate change lies in our food choices because every single action can make a difference. This is the idea that unites our network and points us towards the future: spreading awareness on the issue, studying new sustainable solutions and sharing good practices.

Our powerful
factor for change

What we farm, eat and waste carries significant effects on our health, as well as on environmental, social and economic justice. We believe that everyone has the right to food and climate security; that malnutrition can be overcome, and that communities should be able to live in harmony with nature. We can do this – join us now to find out how!

How can we reach our final goal?

A fair and sustainable food system means respecting human rights and the planet’s boundaries. By walking this path together, we will manage to guarantee livelihoods for everyone, and countries will be able to achieve both the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and those of the Paris Agreement. Let’s give it a try!
