Ghent’s urban food policy demonstrates the potential to transform the food systems at the local urban level. Ghent en Garde has been leading example in Belgium and other European countries. Our city has regularly shared the methods and learnings from their local food initiatives with other Belgian cities, while its food policy has also been exchanged with cities all across the world.
