Granollers Manifesto: Fostering Cultivated Biodiversity in European Municipalities

Abstract

We, the organisers and participants of the 1st European Symposium “Fostering Cultivated Biodiversity through Local Food Policies”, held in Granollers, Spain, on 29–30 April 2025, have jointly prepared this document to issue a call to action to European municipalities and higher levels of governance. In light of the growing unpredictability threatening European food security, in this Manifesto we propose cultivated biodiversity as a key lever for building sustainable and healthy local food systems across Europe
