What can the pictures be?
We all love the delicious food and we have favourite meals. We regularly shop in the big supermarkets, where there is a huge variety of products. But do we know that the food has a reverse side in this ours “consumer heaven”? The people in the developing countries and in Europe, who produce and process our food, often live in poverty and their labour is poorly paid. Very often the beneficiaries are the big commercial chains at the expense of the producers of the raw materials. On the other side, the way many products are produced and processed causes damages to the environment. It is time to make the food more sustainable.
The organizers expect the participants to send their vision and idea how the food industry to be more sustainable, economically and ecologically responsible, how our food to be greener, naturally produced and preserving the environment.
The photo contest FOOD VISION is organized in Bulgaria by association AGROLINK with the financial support of EC and has the aim to support the sustainable production and the method of consumption of their own brands at the European supermarkets in the context of the European year for development 2015 and afterwards.
