FOODGaP will participate in Terra Madre Salone del Gusto 2026, one of the leading international events dedicated to sustainable food, territorial innovation and global cooperation, taking place in Turin from 24 to 27 September 2026.
Within the programme “Feeding the Cities of the World”, FOODGaP will contribute to the dialogue on the future of local food systems and the role of territorial cooperation in addressing global challenges related to food security, sustainability and social inclusion.
The programme hosts the International Conference of Food Cities, promoted by the City of Turin in collaboration with Slow Food Italy and involving actors from the cooperation sector and local institutions.
Strengthening Mediterranean local food systems through cooperation
On 26 September, FOODGaP will participate in the workshop “Mediterranean Platform for Local Food Systems”, dedicated to exploring new approaches for strengthening connections between urban and rural areas and improving cooperation among institutions, producers, communities and stakeholders.
Access to food is not only a matter of availability: it depends on the capacity of territories to create integrated systems that connect production, distribution, consumption, environmental protection, rural development and social inclusion.
The workshop will discuss how a permanent Mediterranean platform for dialogue and exchange can support the sharing of policies, governance models and institutional practices, contributing to the development of more resilient and sustainable food systems.
FOODGaP’s contribution to the Mediterranean dialogue
The experience developed through FOODGaP represents an example of how international cooperation and territorial partnerships can generate innovative solutions for food governance. The project will contribute to showcasing how collaboration among different actors can create models capable of balancing economic, social and environmental dimensions.
Through its participation at Terra Madre 2026, FOODGaP reinforces its commitment to promoting cooperation, knowledge exchange and innovative approaches for sustainable food systems in the Mediterranean region.
