Food Trails Final Conference

From 03 Oct to 03 Oct 2024

The Food Trails final conference will offer a unique opportunity to learn about the project’s main outcomes on urban food policies, hear from European and City political representatives about the future of European food systems, and forge connections and discuss insights.

Join us as we explore the many ways in which cities are implementing integrated food policies that benefit people and the planet, and how EU policy can better support them. This conference is intended for European policy makers and decision makers, city officers, civil society organisations and researchers working on sustainable food systems.
