The “Sustaina-Week” aims at raising awareness about sustainability among people, with “a daily choice for a green future” as the catchphrase. It’s a period when companies and organizations engaging in activities to achieve sustainable production and consumption can bring these initiatives for the future to the attention of people. The six items that are being taken into account related to sustainability in food and the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries are climate change, biodiversity, water, waste and loss, partnership and resilience, and soil. Each participating project member will have information related to their initiatives for these items exhibited and promoted.
