 Food can be seen both as a system in need of transformation and as a set of practices that empower cities to achieve sustainability. By leveraging food, cities can address the significant challenges they face.
“Fixing our food system is a way to fix our cities,” says Nevin Cohen.
In this second episode of "Food and the Cities," host Natasha Foote interviews Nevin Cohen, a member of the Food Trails Think Tank, Associate Professor at the City University of New York, and Director of the Urban Food Policy Institute, alongside Marta Messa, Secretary General of Slow Food and a Food Trails expert.
Together, they discuss:
  • What we mean by the sustainable transition of urban food systems.
  • What the main challenges in urban areas are.
  • Why cities are at the heart of the change.

Moreover, this episode takes a closer look at two cities from the Food Trails project—Birmingham and Grenoble Alpes Métropole—to explore their specific initiatives and the outcomes they achieved.
