This video takes us to the Berlin city-region (Germany), where the Food Policy Council is working to promote fair and inclusive urban food systems. Through the perspective of Saskia Richartz, member of the Berlin Food Policy Council and the FoodCLIC Berlin Living Lab team, the video highlights how improving access to healthy and sustainable food involves both community-level initiatives and engagement with political decision-making. The interview explains how Berlin is focusing on vulnerable neighbourhoods affected by unemployment and health inequalities, working locally on food poverty and access challenges. It also presents the creation of stakeholder roundtables bringing together actors from social welfare, food access and poverty-related sectors, helping connect community needs with city-level policy discussions.
