The way that food is produced, consumed, and distributed is a major issue facing Europe – and one that directly impacts the lives of young people across the continent. Yet, the voice of young people is not often heard when our food system is being discussed.
We worked with urban and rural young people from across Europe to put together a joint vision for the future of our food and farming system based on food sovereignty.
The declaration was part of the pan-European ‘Growing Together’ project, which provided a voice for young people, particularly those from rural areas, to engage with crucial debates on the future of food production, and the wider debates on the future of Europe.
