Programmes
The food environment is very decisive for the demand side of our food system. It is shaped primarily by food retailers and advertisers. Therefore our programmes aim to leverage the power of food retail, promotion and advertising to stimulate a healthy, sustainable, fair and animal-friendly food system
Responsible Pricing
Retail food prices that make healthy and sustainable food the easy choice and enable sustainable agriculture.

We need to understand how it functions and how to turn around these negative trends.
