The EU Food Policy Coalition brings together civil society and organisations working towards refining and advocating for a shared vision of sustainable food systems at the EU level. it includes NGOs from a broad spectrum working on food systems, grassroots social movements, farmers organisations, organisations of fishers, trade unions, think tanks, scientific and research groups.
Buy Better Food co-leads the Task Force on Public Procurement, within which it coordinates joint activities and events to raise awarness on the topic and develops common positions to advocate for Sustainable Public Food Procurement in the EU institutions.
European Food Forum
The European Food Forum (EFF) is an independent, politically-led, non-partisan multi-stakeholders forum founded and governed by elected Members of the European Parliament. EFF aims to promote open dialogue on sustainable food systems among policymakers, food supply chain actors, civil society organizations, research and academia, and other public institutions.

Urban Agenda Partnership for the EU - Food
The Urban Agenda for the EU Partnership on Food was launched in January 2024 and gathers twenty-six relevant stakeholders from different sectors and levels of governance to build consensus around shared goals and priorities for sustainable food systems, and advocate for these at the national and EU levels. The Food Thematic Partnership prioritises the role of cities in leading food system transformation by adopting innovative urban food policies.
Buy Better Food is co-leading the City-Region Framework, one of the three pillars of the Partnership (the others two being Innovative Funding and EU/National Regulation), facilitating the Partnership’s efforts in identifying actions for the implementation phase.
