Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions

Using a holistic and multi-stakeholder approach, this event aimed to understand the new role played by local authorities, food companies, farmers, start-ups, digital platforms and individuals in bringing about inclusive, resilient, safe and diverse urban food systems.


The webinar’s discussions considered the entire value chain and presented many relevant case studies, including developing practices across the value chain and strategic documentation such as New York City's 10-year food policy plan, which considers the entire value chain and local actors and provides a framework for a more economically equitable, sustainable and healthy food system.


The webinar recording may be interesting viewing for cities and regions developing a Circular Systemic Solution that focuses on or involves local food systems.
