A Food Policy Council for Luxembourg!
22nd May 2019
Dr. Rachel Reckinger and Norry Schneider from CELL (Center for Ecological Learning Luxembourg. The Transition Hub) initiated the co-creation a transformative tool for political commitment, together with pertinent Ministries: a Food Policy Council for the whole of Luxembourg.
The basic idea behind the first Food Policy Council at national level is to unite stakeholders from three fields of the food system, each of them forming one third of members:
• Production, Transformation & Retail
• Policy & Administration
• Research & Civil Society.
Individual representatives of these three groups will not primarily be selected according to proportional weight of their host institution or company, but according to their specific willingness and creativity to debate constructively and to co-create, as a team, a more socially and environmentally just, while economically sound, qualitative and local food system.
Beside ongoing meetings and discussions with concerned Ministries, a study and field trip to the Food Policy Councils of Cologne and Bonn was organised with interested actors during autumn 2019.
