Food Systems in Mediterranean Cities: Opportunities for collaboration

food systems in med cities

Under the framework of the Urban Food Agenda and the SFS-MED Platform, FAO is organizing this webinar to present the outcomes of the study and hold a roundtable discussion bringing together municipalities, food systems stakeholders from across the Mediterranean, and international city networks. The webinar will aim to address a key question: how to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among Mediterranean cities to advance sustainable food systems in the region? Participants will have the opportunity to:

i) share their experiences in promoting sustainable food systems in Mediterranean cities;

ii)  identify the added value of facilitating and/or participating in city-to-city cooperation initiatives, as well as needs and expectations for successful peer-to-peer learning;

iii) discuss ways forward to strengthen the collaboration among Mediterranean cities and key partners.
