Webinar: Structuring Food Policy Councils for Citizen Engagement

Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research - GermanyCategory: Webinars & Briefs
Keywords: Knowledge & Learning frameworks
Work Package: Multiplying the impact (WP5) How are cities engaging with food system transformation? Food councils are an increasingly popular way for cities to bridge action among local government, community organisations and citizens. They offer a platform for coordinating activities and sharing information, as well as for championing policy change and strategic regional approaches. With some led by the city government itself and others driven by citizens from the start, each food council has a unique approach to engagement. In this webinar we’ll hear perspectives from two European cities on how their food policy council approaches engagement with citizens, community organisations and local government. Our focus will be on the question: How can a strong grounding in civil society be balanced with political buy-in and action?
