Activities
The CITYFOOD Network:
- Delivers training, technical assistance and policy advice on the topics of food system assessment and planning, food policy formulation and monitoring, urban and peri-urban agriculture and other related topics of interest.
- Develops and disseminates fact sheets, business models, guidelines and tools in hard-copy and in an online library. This includes information on national and municipal policies on urban agriculture and city-region food systems and reports on their impacts plus a compendium with information and examples of business models and prototypes for sustainable urban and peri-urban agriculture.
- Makes readily available guidelines and toolkits on food system analyses, food flows and footprint analyses, multi-stakeholder food systems planning, establishing food councils and designing municipal food strategies.
- Runs a city hub where cities can present online their food policies and programs, including their components and results.
- Establishes a Community of Practice where practitioners can share experiences on food system analysis as well as on the planning and design of city food strategies.
- Organizes inter-city exchanges and learning.
- Engages in awareness raising and lobbying at international events.
