Welcome to the European Citizens' Initiative: Food is a Human Right for All!

The access to adequate, safe, sustainable and nutritious food is a fundamental human right. However, it is not yet the case in the European Union. The ECI on the Right to Food aims to change this and make this right a reality for everyone in the EU. By supporting our initiative, you are taking a stand against food insecurity and unfair food systems, and advocating for a just and sustainable food system for Europe.

Why the Right to Food Matters

In Europe, millions of people struggle with food insecurity. Many more cannot afford a healthy and adequate diet. Moreover, farmers and food workers cannot make a living, and sustainability is often compromised because of lack of political will and resources. At the same time, few actors along the chain and few investors accumulate huge profits out of small-scale producers, unhealthy diets and speculation.

The Right to Food initiative seeks to address these urgent issues by demanding that the EU finally adopts policies that ensure the transition to agroecological food systems where everyone has access to sufficient, safe, sustainable, fair and nutritious food. Our goals include:

• Raising awareness about food insecurity and unsustainable food systems in Europe.

• Advocating for stronger food policies at the European level.

• Mobilizing citizens to support the right to food as a basic human right.
