In time of Shock: Why resilience, defence and democracy help redesign food systems.

Common Ground members attended this Policy Chat in February 2025 and strongly recommend it as a detailed summary to present to classrooms and stakeholders. The event, “Beyond competitiveness: rethinking the ideologies shaping our food systems”, was organized by FEAST, a Horizon Europe project & EuroHealthNet – European Partnership for Health Equity and Wellbeing. Panelists were asked: Is the current narrow focus on productivity growth enough for Europe’s future? And the answer was a resounding no. In this recording, Tim Lang outlines the importance of moving beyond the individual through a social approach to food systems resilience.
