Resilient (rural-)urban food environments

The EU-funded FoodCLIC project seeks to engage 5 European and 3 African city-regions to act as FoodCLIC Broadening (replication) city-regions. Interested local/ regional governments (or government departments) and institutionalised groups, such as Food Policy Councils, are invited to apply by 15 March 2024 .


FoodCLIC Broadening city(-regions) will become part of an existing group of eight municipalities/ regions that are already engaging in the FoodCLIC project to create more resilient (rural-)urban food environments: Aarhus, Budapest, Berlin, Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Lucca, and Brasov.

Is this of interest to you, or could it be relevant to your contacts at city level? Please do not hesitate to contact foodclic.beta@vu.nl and find more information here: https://foodclic.eu/broadening

In November and December 2023, RUAF and the European Forum on Urban Agriculture (EFUA) hosted two expert meetings to promote learning exchange and cooperation with non-European countries. The first brought together representatives of five cities, strategically selected for their innovative UA policies, to share details of policy instruments to enable food growing. The second online expert meeting had a specific focus on multilevel governance to support UA, in different country contexts around the world.
