Eat better, waste less, produce locally: developing sustainable food systems for resilient cities
Food systemsHow can cities design sustainable, local food systems that are resilient to climate change and accessible to all?
Discover inspiring food system experiences and success stories from across Europe in the French Alpine city of Albertville.
At the SPARKLE Albertville School, you will gain the knowledge and tools you need to tackle the interconnected challenges of environmental sustainability, food production, and healthy nutrition in your city.
On the first day, you will explore how urban and peri-urban food production can enhance the resilience of local food systems and support livelihoods, while helping to prevent and adapt to climate change.
On the second day, you will focus on promoting healthier and more sustainable diets. You will discover how cities can reduce food-related emissions, improve public health, and foster more equitable and sustainable urban communities.
Join us to learn practical strategies, get inspired by examples from other European cities, and connect with peers who are just as committed as you are to future-proofing urban food systems.
Apply by 26 March 2026. If selected, the SPARKLE team will contact you by 27 April 2026.
