Project description
Policies, innovation and public engagement for food transformation
Based on the EU Food 2030 Policy Framework, the Farm to Fork Strategy and the Fit for 55 Package, the EU-funded CLEVERFOOD project will engage European citizens, including children and youth, and stakeholders from the farm and food sectors to transform the European food system. CLEVERFOOD will provide targeted support for ongoing and emerging projects, partnerships and networks implementing a pan-European Food 2030 multi-actor and public engagement mechanism. The project will establish an interlinked multi-level structure of connected Policy Labs and Living Labs to pave the way for a more regenerative, resilient and plant-based food system. CLEVERFOOD will also develop models for transformative multi-level food system governance and strategies for advancing food policies and legislation.
Objective
CLEVERFOOD will facilitate a society-wide mobilisation of European citizens, including children and youth, farmers, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, educators, knowledge brokers and policy makers to transform the European food system in alignment with the EU Food 2030 Policy Framework, Farm to Fork Strategy and Fit for 55 Package.
By providing targeted support for ongoing and emerging projects, partnerships and networks, implementing a pan-European Food 2030 multi-actor and public engagement mechanism and operationalizing an interlinked multi-level structure of connected Policy Labs and Living Labs, CLEVERFOOD will pave the way for a more regenerative, resilient and plant-based food system.
Models for transformative multi-level food system governance and strategies for advancing food policies and legislation will be developed in the Policy Labs by launching a peer-learning program, organising inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogues and bringing together policymakers from all governance levels.
Social and technological innovations to support sustainable food system transition will be accelerated in the Living Labs by co-creating strategies for removing lock-ins and building sustainable food value chains, mobilizing impact investors, promoting uptake of new technologies and measuring food system transition progress.
Food system science competences of children and youth will be boosted by supporting food system science education activities in the Policy Labs and Living Labs and establishing a network to collaborate on transforming higher education teaching.
Public engagement, citizen empowerment and mass mobilization will be maximised by supporting multi-actor, public engagement and citizen science activities in the Policy Labs and Living Labs, unlocking the power of influencers, deploying an interactive food systems exhibition, and designating and supporting permanent competence centres across Europe to ensure society-wide commitment to transform the food system.
