Food systems
In today's rapidly changing world, food is a global issue that affects us all. To create more just, equitable, and resilient urban systems, urban areas must transform the way they approach food, not just improve existing urban systems (Ex-ante assessment of the “Food” thematic area under the Urban Agenda for the EU, 2023).
This involves promoting local food production, reducing waste, and strengthening urban food systems with minimal environmental impact. Portico offers resources on building sustainable food systems through responsible sourcing, circular practices, and community-led initiatives for healthier urban living. It covers topics like urban agriculture, local food distribution, waste reduction, and ensuring equitable access to nutritious food.
