About
The CULTIVATE Food Sharing Compass is an online platform with five tools that help Food Sharing Initiatives, policymakers, food actors, researchers, and citizens navigate, scale, and strengthen food sharing. It fosters resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban and peri-urban food systems.
Many FSIs already contribute towards this transition yet their activities are often hampered by complex, fragmented food governance, uncertain finance, and insecure tenure.
Through the Food Sharing Compass CULTIVATE addresses the problem, helping cities navigate towards resilient and sustainable food sharing. The project identifies drivers and implementation gaps, and challenges existing theories and practices which currently constrain food sharing.
