About the hub

Are you wondering how to accelerate the transition to sustainable and integrated food systems at local level? Or how can an integrated and effective urban food governance accelerate food systems transitions? Are you curious about the right instruments for cities to support alternative food initiatives and promote soil health and land regeneration? Then this Hub is for you!

Within this Hub, we will offer your city inspiration and exchange opportunities to foster cross-sectorial learning and cross-fertilise different policy areas, exploring ways and strategies to accelerate the transition towards sustainable & resilient food systems!
