About

Cities can build sustainable food systems to prevent and reduce food waste, provide decent livelihood opportunities and promote sustainable ways of food production. Cities can also ensure food and nutrition security for all. The EU-funded Cities2030 project will bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, civil society leaders, cities and all agents of urban food systems and ecosystems (UFSE) to create a structure focussed on the transformation of the way systems produce, transport, supply, recycle and reuse food. A digital twin of the entire system will be created using a blockchain-based data-driven UFSE management platform. The project’s goal is to create a future-proof and effective UFSE via a connected structure focused on the citizen and built on trust, with partners encompassing the entire food system.
