The Agroecology Europe Youth Network together with 12 European youth organisations urge the EU to make sustainable and healthy food the most affordable option in this Manifesto.
This manifesto includes a combination of recommendations based on scientific evidence and testimonies from young people from all over Europe.
A study conducted with 87 young people highlighted that the increased prices of sustainable food, together with low accessibility and awareness, represented a main barrier to the adoption of healthy and sustainable diets.
“We are united in the vision of a secure and sustainable future which is not possible without radically changing our food system. This is why we ask the European Commission to present an ambitious proposal for a strong SFS Law
by September and the Parliament and the EU Member States to support the process for the transformation of our food systems” concludes the Manifesto.
