Serbia – Citizens' Assembly on Food Labelling (April 2024, Belgrade)

This assembly focused on improving food labelling policies to support healthier and more sustainable consumer choices, aligning with the EU Farm-to-Fork Strategy. 70 participants were recruited country-wide by stratified random selection, representative in terms of age, gender, education and region. The assembly took place during one weekend, with facilitation guided by feminist moderation principles. It was preceded by an expert stakeholder roundtable, which contributed to the development of an informational booklet for the assembly. The recommendations were discussed with a panel of governmental representatives during the assembly.
