Food-related activities are often referred to as part of the food system, due to their complexities and interconnected nature. The food system consists of production, consumption, transport, processing, land use, environment, water, health and much more. If you pull on one thread in the tangle, a lot of things start to move. Food Council MRA advocates a system approach in which coherence between the elements is given a lot of attention.

She brings together doers and thinkers from city and country, from different cities and villages, from various sectors and disciplines to map out opportunities, start projects and give solicited and unsolicited advice to governments, companies and citizens.
