Slow Food Goes Brussels: Who Gets to Decide What Food Ends up on our Public Plates?

What choices lie behind the food we eat in our public canteens, in our schools, hospitals, retirement homes and workplaces? And how can we ensure that the healthiest, most sustainable options end up on our public plates?

• Peter Defrancheschi – Head of the ICLEI Brussels office
• Renata Lukasova – Slow Food member, hospitality expert and director of food catering helping to run school canteens in the Czech Republic 
• Jannie Vestergaard – Slow Food member, food systems expert and food nutritionist
• Thomas Waitz – Green MEP and farmer
