Reformaten
Reformaten is a Swedish, non-partisan and non-religious association working to accelerate a research-based transformation of the food system. Its stated mission is to improve both human and planetary health by changing how food is produced, consumed, and governed. The organization takes a holistic view of the food system, from production to consumption, with particular attention to environmental and social dimensions.
