Projects

Food Trails

Food Trails will enable the shared design of 11 pilot activities in participating cities in order to better co-create urban food policy. The goal is to make the farm-to-fork journey sustainable and to empower communities, promote a zero-waste use of resources, promote environmentally friendly behaviour change and ensure people have healthy and secure diets. 

A Horizon2020 project, Food Trails will also bring economic benefits for these cities, including jobs linked to the pilot projects. Reports on the financial instruments in city food innovation ecosystems will ensure the economic sustainability of the projects over time, and the pilot actions will identify any regulatory or administrative barriers that exist to market-based innovation in food systems. 

Food Trails’ 11 partner cities are: 

  • Bergamo (IT)  
  • Birmingham (UK)  
  • Bordeaux (FR)  
  • Copenhagen (DK)  
  • Funchal (PR) 
  • Grenoble (FR)  
  • Groningen (NL)  
  • Milan (IT) 
  • Thessaloniki (GR)  
  • Tirana (AL) 
  • Warsaw (PL)
