Dear friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

In many European countries farmers are taking to the streets to demand a change in the rules governing the food system, from farm to shops, all the way to the fork – touching all our lives in the process. The highly competitive and industrialized food system is seen by many as a burden for farmers, consumers, the environment and climate. While there is less consensus among\u00a0 protesters about what exactly needs to change, the feeling of political powerlessness in the decision-making process in the European Union and in the member states is palpable for many – as are severe conflicts of interests. With the EU quickly backtracking on key nature and agricultural reforms as response to the farmer protests, many ask:<\/span><\/p>\n

Who decides in Europe?<\/b><\/p>\n

This is why we as Power to the People Group (see our previous webinars <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>) are hosting our next transnational, multilingual and interactive webinar\u00a0 covering this topic. It will be the start of a\u00a0 series on participatory democracy in Europe. With expert speakers we take a close look at how European democracy really works – both the written as well as unwritten rules between parliament, governments, civil society and lobbyism. What to keep and what needs to be changed to make sure that the priorities and values of the European citizens are not forgotten? We will hear from those involved at different stages of the decision-making process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowledge is power. Power to change.<\/b><\/p>\n

We aim not to answer all the questions on agriculture, food pricing, nature and climate. What we want to do is collect and distribute knowledge about the decision making processes as they are, and as they could be. European democracy is a vast sea and in this event we want to give you all a map to better navigate it – not least with the European elections coming up. With knowledge comes the power to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
