ARC2020’s Rural Resilience project explores the possibilities for Europe’s territories to become more resilient from the ground up.
There is one sole EU Green Deal, but many ways to democratise local food policy. In part 1 of this analysis, we dissected the financial shortcomings of France’s Territorial Food Programmes (PAT). In part 2, we look to Germany and the democratic potential of Food Policy Councils (Ernährungsrat).
