Paving the way of the European Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems

How to ensure that the future European food system is healthy, sustainable, safe, and fair? How to safeguard that all voices are heard, and all actors included?

Join us as we build the FOODPathS of a sustainable future. Together, we can accelerate the transition towards a better food system in Europe.

Become part of the network, become part of the change.

The role of FoodPathS

FOODPathS is a project funded by the European Commission that aims to offer a concrete pathway and necessary tools for establishing an appropriate operational environment for the future European Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) for People, Planet & Climate, to be launched in 2024 and that will fund research and innovation activities.

The project seeks to engage actors from the entire food system to create the framework in which the Partnership will operate, such as the definition of a Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) supporting Food2030 priorities, the creation of a network of European universities working on food systems, a Hub for all Living Labs working in the sector, and much more.Β  Discover it!

News of the month: Partnership Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At this point, we trust that you have gained a clearer understanding of FOODPathS and its vital role in paving the way for the European Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) for People, Planet & Climate in the future. Nonetheless, the formation and operation of this Partnership may still raise several questions. Therefore, we have taken the initiative to gather a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) raised from workshops, events, emails, and discussions. We hope that our compilation of FAQ and their corresponding answers will address most of the uncertainties and provide you with a more robust comprehension of this Partnership’s scope and impact.

As we work to create a comprehensive and all-encompassing document, we understand the value of your input and welcome your questions. Your inquiries can help us fill any gaps that we may have missed and ensure that this document is as informative and helpful as possible.

Therefore, we invite you to share any questions or concerns you may have with us by reaching out to info@foodpaths.euΒ 
Your feedback is essential, and we thank you for taking the time to assist us in improving this document.
