Food policy project – CLEVERFOOD – has produced a factsheet with insights and practical tips for promoting plant-based policies. The factsheet draws on the lessons learned in Denmark where effective strategies have been developed to engage governments, political parties, and the agri-food sector in the transition towards a more sustainable food system.
It is important to ensure
plant-based initiatives are included in public policy but the interests of various stakeholders are diverse and often conflicting. Collaboration, dialogue and strategic planning therefore come into their own and the CLEVERFOOD project supports such endeavours.
In this respect, the latest CLEVERFOOD factsheet provides:
- An overview of key strategies to help include plant-based policies within the political agenda
- The main lessons learned from Denmark’s experience
- Concrete actions to drive the change
This resource is designed for those working in food policy who seek tangible results in advancing plant-based solutions for a more sustainable future.
The factsheet is available here.
This factsheet is inspired by a recent publication: “‘
How to put Green Initiatives on the Political Agenda - Inspirational Paper on Advancing Green Initiatives: Insights from Denmark’s Experience.”
In addition to the Denmark experiences, the paper looks at green policy initiatives from other countries related to the sustainable food systems agenda.
