Good Food Good Farming European Days of Action every October!
October, the time to stir your pots and pans!
October is getting closer and so are the GFGF Action Days! We invite groups and initiatives across Europe to organize an event locally and become part of a broad movement at the same time. There are no strict rules for the event, all things related to good food and farming works: a harvest festival, seed fair, film screening, farm-visit, picnic, protest or public discussion – everything is welcome!
Why join us?
By mid-2025, the EU will make crucial decisions on how our taxpayer money is spent. The EU will negotiate its long-term budget (the Multiannual Financial Framework) and propose a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for post-2027. With one-third of the EU budget allocated to agricultural subsidies, these decisions will define the future of our food, farms, and livelihoods. We deserve a say in how our taxes are used! So this year we mobilize to demand that politicians fund our future.
Get involved!
You can register your event to get featured on our European Action Map! In the registration form you can also choose to take part in the Cookbook Action. By participating, you will receive free material from us in your language, including an info poster and recipe pages for participants to fill out during your event. We will then deliver the Recipe for Change-Book to the European Commission.

Join the Cookbook action!
The central theme of the Action Days 2024 is the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2027. With the proposal coming next July, now is the time to ensure that politicians hear what Europeans want for food and farming!
Order a participatory action package from Good Food Good Farming to support your event. It includes an informative poster on the current CAP and ideas for a progressive future. It also includes pages for the participants to fill out during the event to contribute to our “Recipe for Change” cookbook. After the Action Days, we’ll compile these recipes and deliver the book to the European Commission in spring 2025, just in time to make our demands for the new CAP heard!
Be part of our Action Days flashback videos!
This October, we’re creating flashback videos from the Action Days events to capture voices from all over Europe, calling for a just transformation of our food systems.
How to get featured? Just indicate your interest when registering. By mid-September, Good Food Good Farming will choose 5-6 events. Organizers must hire a videographer (costs covered by GFGF) and attend a brief meeting on video concepts and technical requirements.
