ESPERIENZE DAL NORD E DAL SUD DEL MONDO VERSO LA CREAZIONE DI POLITICHE ALIMENTARI URBANE IN GRADO DI RENDERE PIU' SOSTENIBILI I SISTEMI ALIMENTARI DELLE CITTA'

Abstract

Urban food policies are powerful institutional actions, to build more sustainable food systems of contemporary cities. These new policies are designed with a systemic and cross-sectoral approach, they able to act at the intersection of different issues and fields such as water, waste, planning, health, transport, education, environment, trade. We will describe the experiences developed in the Northern and Southern cities of the world (with a focus on West, Africa and Latin America), through the recent Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, which could start a new kind of city-to-city cooperation initiatives.
