It should be easy to eat right in Stockholm

It is about Justice

The food environment is the social and physical environment we live and work in. Our food environment affects our view of food, but also what is available and what we ultimately eat.

There is a lack of political will

Through our Food Barometer, we know that some political parties do not want to do enough to make it easy to eat right, even though research calls for political instruments.

The market and public health

”Well-informed consumers” make good choices. But who can make these good choices? We want to be called eaters instead, and the city lacks the conditions for eating right.

Nine proposals for the city

Together with all of Stockholm's food environment heroes, we have come up with nine proposals for the city. It is about shared underground cellars and regulation of advertising, but also about a vision for the Stockholm of the future and what has already been done in other places.

We are teaming up with all the local heroes in the food environment to

The consequences of an unhealthy and unsustainable food environment

It is the food environment - the advertising, the store shelves, and the servings in our immediate environment that determine what we eat. Many politicians say no pointers, but unregulated advertising and the sale of useless or health-damaging food is not just a pointer, it is a big stick that leads us into ill health at enormous costs in suffering and money.

In Stockholm's food environment, the availability of unhealthy foods is high. These foods are widely marketed, especially outdoor advertising in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. Combined with factors such as low income and education, this means that socioeconomically disadvantaged people are more affected by an unhealthy food environment than others, both in the short and long term.

“The food system is fucked”

Having access and the ability to eat food that comes from healthy soils and well-functioning ecosystems is everyone’s food right. Today it doesn’t look like that. We urgently need to change the way we consume and produce our food. Become a qualitarian, share knowledge and inspiration and support Reformaten’s work for a positive global food system today!
