(Peri-)urban food systems analysis in 8 INCiTiS-FOOD cities and towns

D1.2 (Peri-)urban food systems analysis in 8 INCiTiS-FOOD cities and towns.This deliverable refers to Task 1.1 in the project.The aim of T1.1 is to establish a common knowledge base for gendered circular (peri-)urban food systems using the Wageningen University & Research ‘Food Systems Approach’ (Section 1.2.2). It synthesizes information on food production, processing and consumption, local actors in the respective value chains and local resources available (see T1.3) for new innovative forms of soilless food and feed production (e.g., hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics, bioponics, insect farming) through surveying of African experts and community agents. According to local circumstances and market demand, the envisaged use cases could be combined with other enabling technologies, where there is experience with local African partners. T1.1identifies 3-10 urban food system challenges that will be addressed as use cases in the living labs (in WP2), as business models (in WP3), and in the ecosystem building in Task 1.2 (WP1).
