Guide for food policy: the handbook of the Turin municipal administration

Turin launches the Guide for conscious food. A program and the municipal statute against waste for collective and sustainable education

Guide for food policy: the handbook of the Turin municipal administration

If you don't do it of your own accord, the mayor orders you to do so. The municipal administration of Torino approved the Food Policy Guide, aimed at promoting health, preserving the environment and making the city more sustainable.

In particular she was the councilor for the Ecological Transition Chiara Foglietta to become an active part of this table education for his fellow citizens. The people of Turin will respect her in these Christmas days? On the part of those who buy and eat it is legitimate to doubt. For the poor, the municipal choice can be helpful.

A year ago the administration created a group of councilors to develop a food policy according to the European project EU - H20220 FUSILLI. It too Municipal statute contains a paragraph dedicated to the right to food as a lever to reduce social and environmental gaps in relation to nutrition.

Waste is intolerable and ours is an "important document along the way to making food systems sustainable, ensuring healthy and accessible food for everyone, preserving biodiversity" explained councilor Foglietta.

Nutrition as a social index

Citizens need to know that the production-consumption chain can be corrected with greater individual responsibility that makes cities more sustainable. The economy still works when producers are also able to better control the needs. So that political correctness concerns the protection of sections of the population most in difficulty.

Quality and quantity of food influence urban traffic, waste, social spending and, last but not least, health. It is a social index. And it is proven that controlled systems in small communities bring several advantages and ensure good social balance.

The originality of the Turin news, if you like, lies in the fact that it is talked about in the days of the greatest abundance of food in homes. In a mirror-like way these days we talk about recipes, dinners, delicacies and waste, soup kitchens, charitable activities, record waste. Coherence is hard work.
