Reclaiming the Future of Food: Community Pathways to Resilience, Justice and Regeneration (2025)

A collaboratively written manifesto for community-led food system transformation. ECOLISE is the European Network for Community-Led Initiatives on Climate Change and Sustainability. Since 2014, they have been supporting community-led initiatives, their networks, and partners to catalyse systemic transformation within and across society.

This co-created policy paper, developed through a participatory process involving ECOLISE members, networks, and partners across Europe, outlines a shared vision and 13 policy recommendations to empower communities to drive the transition towards resilient, regenerative, and just food systems.

It aligns local innovation with European policy ambitions, offering concrete pathways for multilevel collaboration and collective impact. An extended edition, to be published soon, will include detailed case studies and good practices illustrating these recommendations in action.
