One key challenge for sustainable urban food systems is to shorten the food supply chain and directly connect producers to consumers. Many of these initiatives also struggle to scale up and change the food system. ​

In this webinar, researchers present key findings from the SURFIT* project on scaling Sustainable Food Networks (SFNs). The webinar will empower your city to support more sustainable urban food networks, by offering  concrete examples and practical recommendations.​

💡 Topics we'll explore:​

  • Different types of scaling for SFNs (up, out, deep and through) ​
  • Best practice design principles for SFNs that enable scaling​
  • Specific examples and experiences from project cities​
  • Recommendations for how other cities can support sustainable food networks​


*The SURFIT (Scaling Urban Regenerative Food Systems In Transition) project is funded by DUT/JPIUrban Europe. It brings together Maastricht University (lead), University of Trento, JagiellonianUniversity, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and WWF Sweden.​
