Sustainable Food

Growing food locally has a positive effect on both quality and health, control of the distribution process and it therefore empowers us; it generates a local economy and promotes local production, reducing pollution. Committing to local production contributes to a more sustainable economy that makes the supply of products easier and brings us closer to self-sufficiency. When the food we eat is sourced locally, we are less vulnerable. Everything that we eat consumes resources, creates employment, requires transportation, conservation and storage. Understanding the food cycle can help us to consume more responsibly.

Activities description: Roundtables, sampling local products in the presence of the producers, talks in which international experiences are shared and chats on small-scale fishing, livestock farming and forestry management are just a few of the activities available to citizens. The aim is to help understand that when we eat, we activate distribution circuits. How and where they are managed affects the environmental and social impact they will have.
