The FOODGaP project works to strengthen local food governance across the Mediterranean.
The first-year brochure of FOODGaP – Food Governance and Policies at local level is now available. FOODGaP is the Interreg NEXT MED project working to strengthen local food governance across the Mediterranean.
The brochure covers the project’s first twelve months: where we started, what we have achieved and where we want to arrive. It is also an invitation to everyone: join the Mediterranean Food Systems Dialogue.
The first year at a glance
In its first year, FOODGaP built a shared understanding of Mediterranean food system challenges and opportunities. It also activated cooperation among partners through learning moments, project meetings, exchanges, webinars and communication activities.
What we have achieved so far
First-year activities helped partners move from the project idea towards a shared working process, preparing the ground for the next phases of local experimentation and Mediterranean cooperation. In practice:
– local public authorities have increased their capacity to collaborate with citizens, civil society, academia and economic and social partners to develop local food policies;
– transnational cooperation among local public authorities and stakeholders has been strengthened, with a commitment agreed to develop local food policies in the Mediterranean.
Our approach and vision
FOODGaP follows a clear path: local challenges, shared knowledge, participatory governance, local food policies. The project aims to build a lasting Mediterranean dialogue and a platform that grows out of an active community, following the “Mediterranean way”.
Join the Mediterranean Food Systems Dialogue
The Mediterranean faces interconnected crises, from climate change to food security, that no single territory can solve alone. That is why your voice and experience are crucial.
By sharing your perspective, you will help us map common priorities, exchange innovative tools and co-design sustainable food governance, connecting agriculture, tourism, schools and social inclusion.
