7. Peer learning to help cities accelerate food system transformation

  • Summary

  • While every city is unique, many of the challenges they face are similar. Cities can learn from each other, replicate, and scale solutions. "Instead of starting from scratch, collaboration allows us to learn from each other and leverage synergies," notes Anna Friederitz.In this episode of Food and the Cities, we explore how peer learning can accelerate food system transformation. Join our host, Natasha Foote, as she engages with Anna Friederitz, Network Development Coordinator at the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA), and Marijke Dijkshoorn-Dekker, Senior Researcher at Wageningen University (WUR). Together, they will discuss:
    • The importance of knowledge exchange and the replication of innovative approaches.
    • Key elements that enable replication and scalability, including drivers and barriers.
    • Strategies for expanding the impact: upscaling and outscaling
    Moreover, this episode takes a closer look at one city from the Food Trails project—Thessaloniki—to explore its specific initiatives and the outcomes it achieved. This podcast is brought to you by Comune di Milano and Slow Food as part of the EU Horizon 2020 Food Trails project. Food Trails is an EU Horizon 2020 project involving 11 cities, 3 universities, and 5 food organizations. Its goal is to promote more resilient, safe, fair, and diverse urban food systems through co-designed actions in Food 2030-led Living Labs, enabling the development of systemic urban food policies.
