The Project
FoodSHIFT 2030 has 9 main accelerator labs in frontrunner European cities, all focusing on different components of the food system. These labs have the option to develop further FoodSHIFT enabler labs in 27 follower city-regions. FoodSHIFT is supported by 31 partners comprising 7 municipalities, 11 SMEs, 6 NGOs and 6 research institutes from 11 European countries.
Our Contribution
Fab Lab Barcelona’s role in FoodSHIFT is in communication and effective knowledge dissemination and also, to play a key role in being one of the nine accelerator labs. Barcelona will host the Food Tech 3.0 Lab, which focuses on the role of appropriate agricultural technologies for urban food production for circular economy strategies. Fab Lab Barcelona at IAAC has extensive experience in development and deployment of open source technologies which measure climate and citizen engagement platforms from previous European-funded project Smart Citizen, Organicity, Making Sense and the ROMI (ROMI Robotics for Micro farms). Barcelona is also situated to be the 2021 World Capital of Sustainable Food and will also host the International Summit of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, alongside also being the leader of the Fab City Global Initiative which pledges for cities to produce everything they consume by 2054.
