UrbanFarm2021 has developed project ideas to be further implemented through co-design activities in three selected European Cities, partners of the EU H2020 Project Food Systems in European Cities (FoodE), led by the University of Bologna. FoodE brings together a highly qualified consortium of 24 organizations, including universities, research institutes, SMEs, NGOs, as well as city councils spread across 8 EU countries. FoodE is financed under Horizon 2020, the European Union Research and Innovation Framework Programme (2014-2020) and will run for four years between 2020 and 2024. FoodE aims to accelerate the growth of sustainable and resilient City/Region Food Systems (CRFS) by bringing together citizen-led local food initiatives across Europe. FoodE seeks to build a “Think global, eat local” mindset with a view to addressing pressing global challenges that threaten food security, while boosting the local economy.
