integrated urban FOOD policies – developing sustainability Co-benefits, spatial Linkages, social Inclusion and sectoral Connections to transform food systems in city-regions

Description du projet

Une nouvelle recette pour des politiques saines et durables en matière d’alimentation urbaine

Tous les citoyens devraient pouvoir mettre des aliments nutritifs, sûrs, durables et abordables dans leur assiette. Les groupes défavorisés et vulnérables vivant dans les zones urbaines d’Europe éprouvent toutefois de grandes difficultés à avoir accès et à consommer des aliments sains et durables. Dans cette optique, le projet FoodCLIC, financé par l’UE, entend instaurer des environnements alimentaires urbains plus durables en construisant des interfaces solides reliant science, politique et pratique (c.-à-d. des réseaux de politique alimentaire) et en expérimentant des approches et des modèles d’entreprise innovants dans des laboratoires vivants implantés dans huit zones urbaines européennes. Les activités du projet seront étayées par un cadre conceptuel innovant (le CLIC), qui met en avant les avantages concomitants de la durabilité, les liens spatiaux, l’inclusion sociale et la connectivité sectorielle. FoodCLIC soutiendra également la participation de multiples parties prenantes, notamment des groupes défavorisés et vulnérables.

Objectif

Europe’s urban areas face significant challenges to ensure the availability and consumption of healthy, affordable, safe and sustainably produced food. Such challenges converge within local food environments, but are often neglected by public planners. Promising initiatives taken by municipalities to change the architecture of food choice often fail to become embedded in the wider policy context and to reach deprived and vulnerable groups. Key factors responsible for this are: (1) siloed ways of working and (2) fragmentation of knowledge on facilitators and barriers related to food system transformation. These factors hinder the development and implementation of integrated urban food policies.

FOODCLIC will create strong science-policy-practice interfaces across eight European city-regions (45 towns and cities). The backbone of such interfaces will be provided by Food Policy Networks, which will manage real-world experimental Living Labs to build a policy-relevant evidence-base through learning-in-action. Activities will be informed by an innovative conceptual framework (the CLIC), which emphasizes four desired outcomes of food system integration (sustainability co-benefits, spatial linkages, social inclusion and sectoral connectivities). Capacity-building and direct support for intensive multi-stakeholder engagement (including deprived and vulnerable groups) will enable policy actors and urban planners across partner city-regions to develop continuously evolving integrated urban food policies and render planning frameworks food-sensitive. Results will be communicated and disseminated amongst others by extending the novel policy practices to another eight city-regions in Europe and Africa, an online Knowledge-Hub, a high-level Think Tank and partners’ networks.

In these ways, FOODCLIC aims to contribute to urban food environments that make healthy and sustainable food available, affordable and attractive to all citizens (including deprived and vulnerable groups).
