The food initiative has been formally adopted. This was announced by the Federal Chancellery on Tuesday. The initiative calls for food production in Switzerland to focus more on plant-based foods in order to achieve greater self-sufficiency and clean drinking water.
The full name of the initiative is "For safe food - by strengthening sustainable domestic production, more plant-based food and clean drinking water". It was submitted on August 16, 2024.
According to the Federal Chancellery, 112,736 of the 113,060 signatures submitted are valid. Franziska Herren from the "Clean water for all" association and six other people are behind the initiative. Herren was already the driving force behind the drinking water initiative that was rejected at the ballot box in June 2021.
