Barcelona Healthy and Sustainable Food Strategy 2030
The citizens and stakeholders that participate in the city’s food system have been working together to produce the Barcelona Healthy and Sustainable Food Strategy 2030, the roadmap for the coming years for transforming the current model and improving the health of people, economies and the planet.
To ensure the follow-up and implementation of the strategy, Barcelona City Council has created a new participatory body, the City Agreement for the EASSB2030, the space for public-private cooperation and joint action among the city’s institutions and organisations that are working to make the current food system healthier and more sustainable.

Promote healthy, sustainable food for all.
