Fair and Healthy Food (Ohrid)

Event Background

The GEF transnational project Fair and Healthy Food aims to bring together different actors to find alternative solutions and positive changes to our current food systems. 

Alongside exploring examples of urban movements developing progressive food policies, the project will also examine how regional sustainable food systems can revitalise rural communities.

About the Event

This event, to be held by Ohrid lake in North Macedonia, is organised with the support of our project partner Sunrise, and will invite experts, green activists, academia and NGOs to discuss how we can achieve a fair and healthy food system.
