A common vision for sustainable food systems
Allies work towards sustainable food systems that :
Protect the climate, water, soils, air and biodiversity through a transition towards agroecological and/or organic farming systems
Facilitate a healthy and sustainable dietary-shift : more sober, plant-based, seasonal, organic and less-processed
Enable access for all to sufficient, healthy, culturally appropriate and safe food
Reinforce local economies by creating fair jobs that ensure the living conditions of all workers in the food chain
Encourage community-building, cultural diversity and citizens’ trust in the food system
Take into account the international environmental and social impacts.

A systems-approach
We apply ourselves to maintain a systems-approach to food and farming transitions. Each of us holds only part of the knowledge and expertise, therefore, we aim to promote complementarity and facilitate cooperation between public, private and community groups working on different issues of the food system.
Today, ALTAA is …
A space for discussion, cooperation and action
Between civil society organisations (CSOs), local authorities, research institutions, businesses and community organisations etc to strengthen our skills and actions by way of a systems approach to food.
A force for joint advocacy
To amplify the impact of local food stakeholders, shift dominant narratives and participate in reshaping local; national and EU policies, ALTAA feeds into and channels the advocacy work of allies and partners.
ALTAA facilites the sharing of :
- good practice ;
- resources ;
- expertise ;
- action levers ;
- new narratives and storytelling for food and farming transitions…
…in order to strengthen the work of public, private and civil society organisations engaged locally, nationally and internationally !
