Network of Municipalities for Agroecology

In the absence of a national legislative framework for food policies in Spain, the Network of Municipalities for Agroecology was created in 2017 to help municipalities share experiences and jointly develop solutions for sustainable local food systems. It promotes food sovereignty, healthy local food production, short food supply chains, local employment and sustainable land management. The network is independent from higher political structures, relies on multi-source funding and offers training for municipal staff and politicians.
