Depuis 2012, les Festivals Nourrir ma Commune, sont organisés un peu partout en Wallonie, en région Bruxelloise ainsi qu’à l’étranger - Ex: Nourrir Liège, Nourrir Arlon, Nourrir Namur, Nourrir Bruxelles, Strasbourg, etc. Les Festivals sont construits sur des principes communs qui sont adaptés aux réalités territoriales.
Les Festival Nourrir ma Commune sont des événements réflexifs, intersectorielles et transversaux sur la transition de nos systèmes alimentaires et la justice sociale. Les partenaires impliqués dans le Festival proposent des activités variées d’information et de sensibilisation qui interrogent les enjeux de souveraineté alimentaire, d’agroécologie, de droit à l’alimentation, les luttes paysannes et les inégalités sociales.
La dynamique territoriale des “Festivals Nourrir” a été initiée par la Compagnie Adoc (à l’origine du spectacle Nourrir l’Humanité c’est un métier). Aujourd’hui, elle est portée par Arsenic2 et le collectif Champs des Possibles.
En 2021, la première édition du Festival Nourrir Bruxelles/ Brusselse kost est lancée en région bruxelloise. Du 12 au 18 juin 2023, la troisième édition du Festival Nourrir Bruxelles/Brusselse Kost rayonnera au quatre coins de Bruxelles pour rassembler des organisations, collectifs citoyens et initiatives impliqué·e·s dans la transition des systèmes alimentaires en Région Bruxelloise. Le Festival se veut un processus de co-construction privilégiant une approche territoriale basée sur les besoins des populations locales, et ancrée dans la réalité des différents quartiers et communes de la Région.
