In detail

This experience invites you to take part in an evolving debate on food justice.
Based on data from the report “The Unfair Price of Our Food,” produced by Secours Catholique, the CIVAM Network, Solidarité Paysans, and the French Federation of Diabetics, you’ll be led to question how the dominant agri-food system works, from seed to plate.

The principle is simple: participants are presented with a number of statements and asked to physically position themselves according to their opinion—“Agree” or “Disagree.”
Each position taken serves as a starting point for discussion, comparing perspectives, and identifying common questions.

The discussions cover five major themes: consumption, distribution, processing, production, and ecosystems. As the discussion unfolds, you’ll explore the tensions, imbalances, and possible paths forward. The ultimate goal is to collectively outline a “fair and ideal” scenario for the future of the agri-food system.

A participatory experience, open to those ages 15 and up, designed to encourage us to reflect together on the dietary, social, and environmental choices that affect us all.

Accessible from the “Village of Sustainable Gastronomy— Organizations Committed to Local and Responsible Food,” make the most of your visit by meeting the other organizations and checking out the activities on offer, and leave with plenty of tips for adopting a more local and responsible diet.
