The EU-funded FoodCLIC project will create more sustainable urban food environments by building strong science–policy–practice interfaces (i.e. food policy networks) and experimenting with innovative approaches and business models in Living Labs across eight European city-regions. Activities will be supported by an innovative conceptual framework (the CLIC), which emphasises sustainability co-benefits, spatial linkages, social inclusion and sectoral connectivity. FoodCLIC will also support multi-stakeholder engagement, including deprived and vulnerable groups.
FoodCLIC wants to ensure that all inhabitants have access to affordable, healthy and sustainably sourced food. The EU-funded project supports the creation of sustainable urban food environments in eight city-regions, consisting of an urban centre and its surrounding rural (agriculturally used) area. These city-regions share the ambition of a food system transformation that is brought forward through the improvement of their urban food environments (and the interrelated urban food systems).
The project has 8 living labs:
• Aarhus Denmark
• Amsterdam Netherlands
• Barcelona Spain
• Berlin Germany
• Brasov Romania
• Budapest Hungary
• Lisbon Portugal
• Lucca Italy
