The FOODGaP project lands in Rome from 5 to 7 May for a three-day co-design event where Mediterranean partners will exchange views on local food governance models. The event takes on special significance as it is part of the ASviS Festival for Sustainable Development, the initiative that mobilises Italy around the goals of the 2030 Agenda.

From the Domus Romane to the Food Plan. The meeting will not be a simple technical gathering, but an immersive experience in the local territory. Starting from the shared roots of classical culture at the Domus Romane, partners will work together to define common solutions to modern challenges: food poverty, short supply chains and cooperative resource management.

On 6 May at Palazzo Valentini, the project will bring together the key players of Rome’s food system: the Observatory on Food Insecurity and Poverty, AgroCamera, the Metropolitan Food Table and the Food Council of Roma Capitale. This structured dialogue aims to consolidate the Mediterranean Community of Practice, transforming citizens from passive beneficiaries into co-creators of food policies.
