AM-1-32 to B-R6: Transitioning to sustainable and resilient farming systems in Europe

In order to accelerate the food transition and to enhance the food security, the european greens will promote a greater role for local authorities in strengthening local food systems, such as:
- in terms of governance and regulation, promote the competence of local authorities, from cities to regions, in agriculture and food in national regulations on the one hand, and on the other hand define a role for them in CAP negotiations. The proposal aims to embark on a trajectory similar to the climate negotiations in the COPs and to move towards mandatory territorial plans and programs in favor of food resilience by 2050
- in terms of financing the agricultural and food transition, work around the CAP should make it possible to define budgect lines controlled with the territories in accordance with the trajectories and local issues of this transition with the aim of guaranteeing food sovereignty at inter-territorial or even regional scales. At the same time, the European directive on public procurement have to facilitate public purchases of local products (exceptions to market rules for local food products, quotas for local, healthy and sustainable products, etc.).
- the principles of complementarity and subsidiarity will be highlighted in European policies on food and agriculture, in order to take concrete action on the weak links in local food systems, from production to processing, including storage and logistics tools, soil fertility and the services provided by agriculture to biodiversity, water quality and adaptation.
- finally, it will be a question of conditioning these specific territorial measures on the objectives of a local, healthy and sustainable diet, of strengthening food security for all populations - including the most precarious, of reducing the meat share of diets and of diversifying them
