2030 Strategy: a city agreement

Barcelona City Council, together with the Barcelona Metropolitan Strategic Plan, food system stakeholders and civil society, has produced a road map for achieving a healthier, more sustainable food system for the city. This is the Barcelona Healthy and Sustainable Food Strategy for 2030, a jointly produced document that contains the vision, goals and lines of action that will guide the transformation of the city's food system in coming years.

In order to ensure that the strategy is followed and complied with, a space for participation, public-private cooperation and joint action has been launched among city institutions and organisations that are striving to make the current food system healthier and more sustainable.

The City Agreement for the Barcelona Healthy and Sustainable Food Strategy for 2030 is this new representative body that will promote cooperation, action and the coordination of projects aimed at furthering the healthy, sustainable and universal construction of a common good and basic right: sustainable food.

All public or private organisations interested in taking part in this space can now join.

I want to join

Once they have joined, and within a period of two years, the organisations should present at least one commitment with the Agreement, a declaration of intent, with specific actions to promote healthy and sustainable food.

There are two ways to associate with the Agreement. The first is joining, which public or private organisations that wish to participate in the space must do.

All member organisations must present at least one commitment within the first two years, i.e., a declaration of intent that shows the general public their aspirations for promoting healthy and sustainable food through specific actions. Once the commitment has been made, there is a second level of association: the organisation has the chance to take part in the Oversight Group, enjoying greater opportunities for visibility, and present themselves for the Healthy and Sustainable Food Awards.
