Name of the project: FOOdIVERSE

Duration: 01/21 - 12/23

Participants: Coventry University (UK), Oslo Metropolitan University (Norway), University of Trento (Italy), Jagiellonian University of Krakow (Poland), University of Gießen (Germany)

Facilitation: EU-Programme ERA-NET (SUSFOOD/ CORE Organic) in the scope of "Horizont 2020"

Background and goals

Food systems comprise all actors and activities related to the production, processing, provisioning, consumption and disposal of food. Participating scholars investigate local, sustainable and organic food systems in the five participating countries: Norway, UK, Poland, Italy and Germany. The aim of the project is to analyze the characteristics of diversity concerning food consumption, production and governance in the respective localities. Furthermore, parameters shall be identified which could contribute to a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable food system.
Farmers, processors, distributors and consumers are working together in living labs to generate ideas and innovations to promote resilient food systems.
