For safe and sustainable nutrition: Initiative for change
Our organization IG Wild beim Wild supports the @ initiative_sichere_ernaehrung
With the initiative "For safe nutrition" we demand an agricultural and food policy that focuses more on plant-based rather than animal foods.
This is long overdue for:
✅ Our food security
✅ Managing the climate crisis
✅ Biodiversity
✅ Clean drinking water
✅ Animal welfare
But for decades, our agricultural policy has prevented this change: With 2.3 billion francs, the federal government annually promotes the production and consumption of animal products – five times more than plant-based products (only 0.5 billion), as the study "Costs and Financing of Agriculture" shows.
60% of our arable land is used for animal feed – yet with plant foods like legumes, grains and potatoes, we could produce more than ten times the calories for humans.
The consequence: Over 50% of our food comes from abroad.
Our solution: The initiative demands increasing the self-sufficiency rate to 70% – with sustainable production, more plant-based foods and less food waste.
This strengthens:
- The domestic market
- The prospects and production security for farmers
- The future of climate- and environmentally-friendly nutrition
