SUMMARY:Beyond Growth Conference
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nWith this event \, the organisers aim to challenge conventional policy-making in the European Union and to redefine societal goals across the board\, in order to move away from the harmful focus on the sole economic growth – that is\, the growth of GDP – as the basis of our development model. The conference will put into practice the idea of a post-growth future-fit EU that combines social well-being and viable economic development with the respect of planetary boundaries. \nThis three-day event is a cross-party initiative of 20 Members of the European Parliament\, supported by a wide-range of partner organisations\, which follows the success of the Post-Growth 2018 conference. The conference offers an opportunity for discussion across institutional boundaries and with European citizens. It will involve stakeholders from EU and national policymaking\, academia\, social partners and civil society organisations. As it aims to discuss the future of European citizens\, it will take place in their house\, in the European Parliament (Brussels’ site) on 15-16-17 May 2023. Live streaming will also be available. \n  \n  \n  \nContext\nThe Green European Foundation supports innovative approaches to economic sustainability in Europe and\, together with its European and national partners\, aspires to contribute to the transition towards societies that enable a good life for all within planetary boundaries. \nEconomic transformation has been a core area of work for GEF since its beginning. Today the foundation is active in fostering the reflection on the creation of a society and the functioning of an economy beyond GDP growth. GEF also  aims to be at the forefront of the critique of economic growth and the existing economic model by supporting the coming to light of alternative models and ideas. In this context\, it is with great pleasure that the foundation will actively support the organisation of the upcoming Beyond Growth Conference. \n  \n  \n  \nPracticalities\nDates: 15-17 May \nLocation: European Parliament (Brussels) and online \nRegistration: Please sign up here \n\nDegrowth Open Letter\nThere is no empirical basis indicating that it is possible to globally and sufficiently decouple economic growth from environmental pressures. \n \nRead here \n  \nGEF in the Media\nEU Observer \n\nHow would a #postgrowth EU defend itself\, its allies\, democracy\, human rights and a rules-based international order against attacks by the likes of Russia or China?    \nIn the run up to the #BeyondGrowth Conference\, @RichardWouters writes how 👇🇪🇺https://t.co/LEUnGq8kyz \n— Green European Foundation (@GEF_Europe) May 11\, 2023 \n \nElDiario.es \n\nUn cambio de paradigma "no significa un empeoramiento de nuestro nivel de vida\, si exploramos cómo es realmente una vida sana y de calidad.

SUMMARY:Our Future: Fair & Healthy Food (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nA systemic crisis permeates our food and agricultural sector. Food\, turned into a commodity to generate profit\, feeds the greed of the few rather than the stomachs of the many in a healthy way. Decades of yield maximization and export-oriented monocultures in a globalising economy have broken our food and agricultural chain. Business-as-usual has become impossible. \nBut the tide is changing. More and more research and policy reports and practices point to a hopeful alternative approach to food and agriculture: Agroecology\, as an integrated vision\, aims to reconnect soil\, plants\, animals and humans with the environment. It integrates the social dimension of a fair and sustainable food system. At the same time\, more and more cities put this vision in practice in concrete urban food policies. It is now the time for a new EU policy\, reflecting and supporting this holistic vision. \nProgramme\n09:00 Registration \n09:30 Words of welcome by  by Dirk Holemans (Green European Foundation) \n09:45 Fair & healthy food: presentation of GEF paper by Kati Van de Velde (Think Tank Oikos) \n10:05 Our food as a commons: Jose Luis Vivero Pol (scholar\, Head WFP VAM Myanmar) \n10:25 Towards ecologically & socially resilient food and agriculture systems by Thomas Van Craen (CEO Triodos Bank) \n11:20 Diversity & inclusion in food practices: Deirdre Woods (food justice practitioner & researcher) \n  \n11:40 Towards a Common Food Policy for the EU by Olivier De Schutter (Co-chair of IPESFood) \n12:00 How to build a better world: Challenges & opportunities in the global governance of food security by Mario Arvelo (Dominican Ambassador to the UN in Rome & Chair of the Committee on World Food Security)\n \n12:20 Urban food policy: the city of Gent by Tine Heyse (Alderwoman city of Ghent) \n12:40 Reaction by Paulo Caruso de Lima (Liaison Officer\, FAO Brussels) and Q&A with the audience \n13:00 Closing remarks by Petra De Sutter (MEP Greens/EFA) \n13:30 End \n  \n\n  \nRegistration\nEntrance to this event is free\, but spaces are limited and registration is required. \nIf you would like to attend this event\, please register via the form found here.  \n\n
