More about the project

In cities around the world, it is not easy for all citizens to access sustainable and healthy food. At the same time, supply chains are not transparent and people are becoming more and more disconnected from the origin of their nutrition and livelihood. To address this challenge, cities can use the food project incubation program to locally source and implement new strategies and initiatives for sustainable food.
