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. Discover it!
News of the month: Case studies wanted!
As FOODPathS mission is to establish an appropriate operational environment for the future EU Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems (SFS), this month we are looking for your help: Do you know any initiatives dedicated to the improvement of European food systems? These can be partnerships, networks, or cluster initiatives made by different farmers, governments, civil society, organizations, and other actors together.
We invite you to participate by filling out a brief questionnaire that will help us collect all these initiatives. Thanks to your contribution it will be possible to better understand how sustainability initiatives operate, collaborate, and succeed. By sharing these examples, you’ll enrich our analysis and guide the development of the EU Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems.
We appreciate your help, and we thank you for taking the time to contribute to FOODPathS.
