| 14. Why is the project taking place? | The sustainable transition, tackling the climate change, cannot be procrastinated any more. While the worldwide food production is responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas (GHC) emissions, it is at the same time affected by climate change. In addition, more than a third of the global food production per year (40% at European level) goes wasted, producing significant impact on climate. |
| 15. Overall objective of the project | Therefore, changing food system (production and consumption patterns) is a key aspect to face the climate change issues because of its cross-cutting and capillary nature, both in the economic system and in daily life. Increased awareness among all the actors of the value chain (from producers to “consumers”) of sustainable food system, enables them to build fertile ground and allows the full implementation of innovative policies. Youth are a crucial target not only for the role they will assume in future governance, but also because they are the most resourceful agents of change. In general, youth need to be aware on how they can practically adopt positive behaviours in daily lives, as well as being fully involved within the change and to empower their peers as a part of an active European citizenship. The project’s Overall Objective is that EU Citizens' increase knowledge, awareness, and engagement on sustainable patterns of food consumption and production for climate change mitigation and adaptation. |
| 16. Specific objective(s) of the project | As the objective is very comprehensive, the partners will accomplish it by achieving three intermediary Outcomes (iOc), which match the three key pillars of the project’s design: Awareness, Engagement, Communication/Outreach. iOc1: Key target youth in 19 EU cities are aware of the importance of climate-friendly food consumption behaviours, policies and food system models impact. Under this iOc, in fact, the project will raise awareness of target group, developing content and disseminating media materials to sensitise youth on the issues of climate change and, more specifically, the nexus between food systems (production and consumption) and climate change mitigation and adaptation. This will raise interest and guide youth towards the various activities proposed under this project. iOc2: Key target youth increase knowledge and capacities in awareness raising and campaigning and actively engage in the promotion of practices for sustainable food systems. As iOc1 unravels and is implemented, under iOc2 the partners will engage youth that show particular interest towards the project’s themes and activities, investing on them to become activists and “megaphones” of the projects with other youth but also with the general public, co-creating communication tools aimed at shaping the Pan-European campaign. iOc3: Target youth in 19 cities engage with a wider EU audience on the importance of sustainable food consumption and urban food policies to tackle climate change. Finally, under iOc3, the project will leverage on the results achieved under the first two iOc to carry out a panEuropean awareness raising campaign that will allow the project to achieve its main Outcome, through wide communications activities that will have both national and European resonance. |
| 17. What will have changed as a result of the project? (Summarise the intended outcome) | In order to contribute to the wider goal, the project will achieve the following Outcome: Young people in 16 EU Member States are committed to change their food consumption behaviour and to actively promote the shift towards ecological and inclusive urban food systems, contributing to the EU's efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This project, which at first looks at a wide audience, then works with a limited number of young activists and finally reaches out massively to the final target (15 million European youth) |
