What can the citizen-consumer do to promote sustainable food chains? Shops with farm products, organic baskets, community buying groups, community gardens, seed banks… initiatives are being developed to fill the widening gap between consumers and the people who feed them. The goal of this meeting is to let people know about different initiatives and the choices offered to us, including when we are city dwellers, to promote healthy eating that helps farmers and the environment.
