Diet for a Green Planet

DIET FOR A GREEN PLANET is a Pilot Transfer Network within the URBACT II Programme, consisting of Södertälje in Sweden, Mollet del Vallès in Spain, Lomza in Poland and Molétai in Lithuania.

Diet for a Green Planet is a concept developed and implemented by Södertälje Municipality and BERAS International. It raises awareness of the environmental impacts of food on different levels. It uses existing resources and structures to increase the amount of environmental friendly consumption and reduce the climate effects of food. By using local resources and encouraging local and organic producers it also contributes to sustainable rural development and cooperation between urban and rural areas. 

The overall project goal is to make relevant key stakeholders in each receiving city aware of and understand Diet for a Green Planet – and willing to act in accordance with the concept.
