Raise your voice for Food Justice!

What is it?
Food justice is about transforming the whole food system, from the way food is grown, harvested, processed, and distributed, to the way it is shared and eaten, so it feeds people and sustains the planet. It means that everyone, regardless of income, race, gender, or legal status, is part of a food system that provides healthy, affordable, fairly produced, sustainably grown, and culturally appropriate food.
It means shifting power away from corporations and ensuring food is treated as a human right, not a privilege.

Why do we need it?
Today’s food system is driven by profit, not by people’s needs. Market rules reward large-scale production and low prices, pushing farmers to cut costs and lower standards just to survive. At the same time, public policy continues to measure food availability as increased production, rather than focusing on people’s rights, fair access, or ecological limits. Without a shift in priorities, inequality and environmental destruction will only deepen.

How can we achieve it?
We need EU food and farming policies to prioritize people and planet – not corporate profits. This only works if we regulate markets and redirect public funding, support new farmers and ensure social equity, work with nature – not against it, guarantee equitable access to food and democratise our food systems!
Raise your voice this October, to demand that politicians support policies for the people, not for corporations!

Double Standards on our Plates
It explores the EU's current trade policies and calls for the implementation of "mirror measures" to ensure that imported agricultural products meet the same environmental and health standards as those produced within the EU. Through case studies on soy, rapeseed, beef, and sheep meat, the report illustrates the negative impacts of these disparities and urges the EU to align its trade policies with its Green Deal and Farm to Fork objectives.
