The food social security project is taking its first steps in Ipar Euskal Herria

  • The Food Social Security project aims to ensure that people have access to sustainable food, while at the same time facilitating access to more responsible production. They see it difficult to pass the sieve of the law, but they start organizing themselves on their own.

More and more people are calling on social security to include sustainable food in the French State. They want to promote a project that allows citizens to feed themselves sustainably, providing EUR 150 per month to each person to feed themselves through locally managed, democratically funded social funds.

The movement is based on two major concerns: on the one hand, they see the need for a transformation in cultivation, as the current model exploits food and the environment. And, on the other hand, they also look at consumers: with the most common income, citizens do not have the right to eat sustainably.

For about ten years, cultural and associative actors have been working to put in place a device similar to the social security system in the field of health, as can be read in the Kazeta medium. The debate on the subject has been consolidated and has been organized in different places. Since 2019, the collective “In favor of Food Social Security” has been in place to coordinate the project.

However, the project needs the guarantee of the legislation and the collective sees this possibility far away. In the meantime, limited grass-roots initiatives are being organised.

In Ipar Euskal Herria, several quotations have also been launched to publicize the project. Among them, the Urruña Local Centre for Social Action, in collaboration with Elgar, has organized a two-day planning for 14 and 15 October, with the aim of collecting and debating information. On the second day, at 18:00, at the Otsokop Cooperative Point of Sale in Baiona, the topic will be addressed with guest Sarah Cohen, one of the drivers of the Kutxa Local de Tolosa project in Occitania. In January 2023 a project will be launched in the different neighborhoods of the city with five boxes.
