Diving into the core of #Day 1⃣ at the @food_trails APM.
🧑‍🏫With the knowledge sharing workshop cities took the🎙mic and shared crucial lessons learned in the implementation of the #livinglabs.

[Food Trails @food_trails]

🤔What are the key elements for scaling up projects?
We asked the @food_trails cities as part of the knowledge sharing workshop on the day 1 of the APM in Funchal. Long-term structural funds, education & bottom-up initiatives emerged as the most significant drivers. #EuFoodCities

[Food Trails @food_trails]

📈📊#Monitoring the results of innovative pilot actions is crucial for planning the future of urban #foodsystems.🌱

🔎At the @food_trails APM, 11 cities critically compare the indicators developed to monitor their pilot actions with the #MUFPP indicators.

How cities are thinking to financially and strategically support their Living Labs after @food_trails?

Insights from the last session of the APM knowledge sharing workshop suggest that one strategy can be combining municipal budget, funded projects, and private partnerships.

[Food Trails @food_trails]

🤩Day 1 at @food_trails partners' meeting continues with a field visit to key locations of #Funchal Living Lab!

1st stop: the new🔬Science Center boosting food literacy among youth, raising awareness on biodiversity, nutrition, and food systems sustainability.

Day 2⃣ at the @food_trails Annual Partner Meeting in #Funchal💥

🧑‍💻The morning opened with a #foodpolicy knowledge-sharing workshop, with a focus on mapping multi-level #governance relationships within the #foodsystem of each city, which will help to model practices and knowledge

[Food Trails @food_trails]

At the beginning of @food_trails, only 3 out of 11 cities had food policies. As we enter the project last year, significant successes are already there: by 2024 all cities will have implemented food policies, paving the way for the next steps towards more sustainable food systems

[Food Trails @food_trails]

Working on a multilevel governance mapping grid to visually represent the complexity of the food ecosystems.

@food_trails cities will identify:
✅key food policy actions and public services
✅administrative competences allocated across different levels & their interactions.

[Food Trails @food_trails]

🤩Exciting challenge ahead for @food_trails partner cities as we kick off knowledge-sharing activities with 28 Cascading Cities. Coming up study visits, webinars, and workshops. Stay tuned for insights!💪
