The issue of food, from overcoming the barriers between producers and consumers to fighting food waste, is an important component of the quality of urban life. The “urban good policies” and their evolution are a field of study frequently curated by Urbanpromo, with the aim of identifying the most interesting experiences and spreading the knowledge of good practices.

During this edition of Urbanpromo, the city’s food supply is addressed in three thematic sections:

  • How can the supply area of cities be defined? For which products and supply chains?
  • What threats, what conflicts to the city’s food supply?
  • Food production and identity of the city
