Event: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (2019-02-14)

Session: Cities host over half the world’s population and therefore have a strategic role to play in developing sustainable food systems and promoting healthy diets. The Milan Urban Food Policy Pact was therefore established to support cities to strengthen this role and Arusha City Council is a signatory. Rikolto will present the progress made to date on this initiative including the research on food safety which highlights the critical need to establish market incentives that support transitions to more sustainable and safe practices at farm and trader levels.
