ECOLISE has published Reclaiming the Future of Food: Community Pathways to Resilience, Justice and Regeneration, presenting a shared vision and 13 policy recommendations for transforming European food systems.

The publication was developed through a participatory process involving community-led initiatives, networks, and practitioners from across Europe. It connects policy recommendations with practical experience from local food economies, community-supported agriculture, food cooperatives, ecovillages, food councils, and regenerative farming initiatives.

The recommendations explore how policymakers, funders, and institutions can recognise and support community-led action while strengthening food security, restoring ecosystems, building resilience, and contributing to a just transition.

The online edition also features examples of communities already creating practical alternatives to extractive and unsustainable food systems.
