The first local food forum in Southern Ardèche, brought together more than 100 local stakeholders (facilitators, project managers, advisors, farmers, artisans, local elected politicians, researchers, local civil society organisations and citizens) around thematic workshops about school food procurement, innovations around access to land, local agriculture and climate change, food justice and access to quality food, the creation of a future local food council. Claudia Schmitt from UFRRJ was there to contribute to the discussions about food democracy and citizens’ involvement, and Pedro Lopez Merino (INRAE) presented his serious game about the territorial impact of our diet.
