We are excited to announce that C40 Food Systems C40 Cities, a global network, was awarded the Food Planet Prize, the world’s biggest environmental award, on June 28 in Stockholm, Sweden.
C40’s Food Systems Network works directly with its 50+ member cities from around the world to make it easier for residents to eat food that is good for people, the planet, and prosperity by developing healthy, equitable, and accessible food systems that also reduce food loss and waste.
Through the C40 Good Food Cities Accelerator, 16 cities worldwide are working to deliver sustainable food policies and achieve a «Planetary Health Diet» for all by 2030, informed by the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health. These cities collectively serve over 500 million meals. Though every city is shaped by local context, good solutions can be quickly scaled and refined to suit other cities facing similar challenges.
The cities participating in the Good Food Cities accelerator are Stockholm, London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Oslo, Copenhagen, New York City, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, Lima, Seoul, Quezon City, and Tokyo.
Our congratulations!
