On 11 April, there will be another roundtable organised by the Green REV Institute and the Future Food 4 Climate coalition! The discussion will be about food labelling – i.e. reliable information for consumers and for a Sustainable Food System!

The event will take place online and will be streamed on the FB profile of the Green REV Institute.

The following concerns will be addressed:
– What proposals for food labelling have emerged from the European Parliament? 
– Why is the introduction and education on food labelling so important?
– Climate, animal rights, impact on public health – what information should be transparent and accessible to the consumer?
