We guide and shape governance mechanisms for food systems change and to implement your strategy.
The implementation of a food strategy is difficult and complex work that requires an innovative governance mechanism. We can help you in the development of a governance system that assures the implementation and monitoring of the food strategy.
We have expertise in internal capacity-building. From creating ownership and collaboration between different departments to setting up an official institutional anchoring with other stakeholders and the organisation of a multi-actor governance mechanism. This mechanism can take various forms and shapes.

The diversity of stakeholders and their active participation often result in broad ownership and the emergence of new collaborations amongst these actors which will help the realisation of your sustainable food system objectives. Such a mechanism can address the policy environment, generate new ideas, initiatives and proposals, and can also focus on specific topics, such as youth involvement, food markets, healthy food in schools, citizens’ engagement, food waste management…
