Community is resilient. 👥 📢Our Symposium in Granollers is moving forward with limited participation due to local power disruptions. Thank you for being part of a resilient community. 🌱 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025 #LiveSeeding

📢 We are now live from the 1st European Symposium "Fostering Cultivated Biodiversity through Local Food Policies" in Granollers, Spain. 🌾 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025 #biodiversity

🗣️Mariateresa Lazzaro from FiBL : " We want to overcome industrial monoculture agriculture and have broader spectrum of varieties to support #biodiversity." 🌿 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️ Cristina Massot, General Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food, Barcelona Provincial Council: "Biodiversity is the foundation of food security, resilience, and quality, not just safety. We need clear regulations and less red tape." #SymposiumGranollers2025

🗣️Sonia Callau, Agrarian Spaces Directorate, Barcelona Provincial Council : Barcelona launches the Agrarian Plan to grow urban farming, boost organics, expand green space, and protect #biodiversity. 🌱 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️María Carrascosa from Red de Municipios por la Agroecología : "Food policies, to be transformative, need to be multi-level and multi-actor". #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

During participatory workshop where diverse stakeholders are co-creating the "Granollers Manifesto". Watching collaboration in action as we shape a more biodiverse future together! 🌱🏙️ #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️ "Over the last century, the push for uniform crop varieties has destabilized our ecosystems. We need #organicseeds and #cultivateddiversity, they are vital for resilient agriculture." - Véronique Chable from INRAE_International #SymposiumGranollers2025

🗣️Grietje Raaphorst-Travaille, Nordic Maize breeding:“Global seed companies follow marketing-driven strategies: fewer varieties, more patents, less diversity. Regional breeding benefits soil, farmers, animals and the future of seed.”🌽 #SymposiumGranollers2025

🗣️Giuseppe de Santis from Rete Semi Rurali ETS : "Breeding today must go beyond yield: it’s also about shifting public awareness toward diverse and sustainable consumption." 🌾 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025 #LiveSeeding

🗣️Jérémy Camus from Lyon Metropolis: “Our food policy goes from seed to plate. We created local seed banks to preserve genetic heritage, not for profit, but as a cooperative tool to support farmers and strengthen regional agriculture.” #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️Iker Santocildes Mayor of Orduña: “Cultivated biodiversity connects rural and urban life through markets, fairs, workshops and gastro-experiences. It’s about building an agroecological economy that speaks beyond words.”🥗 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️Carmelo Troccoli , World Farmers Market Coalition: “We’ve lost 75% of agricultural biodiversity. If farmers leave rural areas, no one will produce biodiversity. This must shape how we design food policies.”👩‍🌾 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025 #LiveSeeding

🗣️Saverio Mecca, Scandicci Municipality: “In Scandicci we focus on three goals: conserving biodiversity, building participatory food governance, and linking producers with schools and restaurants.” 🌾 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️ Maria Young, Cork Food Policy Council: “Only 2% of all land in Ireland is under certified organic production. The food system is led by commercial impact. We are behind the rest of Europe when it comes to #cultivatedbiodiversity.” #SymposiumGranollers2025

Mariateresa Lazzaro from FiBL: “Manifesto workshops called for links to evaluation tools, visibility for local composting and urban gardens, support for short supply chains, and recognition of food as culture.” 🌱 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🗣️Francesco Cagnola (MUFPP Secretariat): “When we speak of cultivated biodiversity, urban food production is often seen as entertainment. But we need to take it seriously. Europeans must engage proactively” 🤝 #SymposiumGranollers2025 #LiveSeeding #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025

🌱 That’s a wrap from #SymposiumGranollers2025! Two days of powerful dialogue, shared strategies, and seeds of change. Huge thanks to our partners Red de Municipios por la Agroecología for organising and hosting this event. Let’s keep growing together. #LiveSeeding #Foodpolicies4biodiversity2025
