The shocks to supply chains caused by Covid and the war in Ukraine have highlighted the need for innovative approaches to ensure food security for all. The FEED4FOOD project focuses on unlocking the potential of urban agriculture for local economic development, waste recovery and food security. By promoting a shift in our food systems in four Urban Agriculture Living Labs (LLs) in Strovolos (Cyprus), Drama (Greece), Bucharest (Romania), and Gdansk (Poland), the project will demonstrate how sustainable urban agriculture can empower and include vulnerable groups. It will also pave the way for low-impact and regenerative urban food systems that provide food for all residents, especially low-income consumers.
