The Joint Office for Sustainable Food (OCAS) is a joint initiative of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food), the Barcelona City Council, the PEMB and Prodeca. The main objective of OCAS is to promote collaboration and synergies between food strategies, and to promote a more sustainable, healthy and resilient food system through urban-rural connections.

In a context of constant and unexpected change, urban and peri-urban (UPU) food systems are affected by deep inequalities that make them vulnerable and fragile to crises. The CULTIVATE project aims to help cities build more resilient and sustainable food sharing models. The project does so by identifying key factors that can act as drivers of change or barriers, and by challenging current theories and practices that hinder a fairer, more efficient exchange of food.

GreenInCities is an EU-funded H2020 project that aims to transform urban spaces through nature-based solutions and technological applications. Integrating human and non-human needs, the project combines data-driven innovation with neuroscience to co-create a sustainable future by taking a proactive approach to climate change adaptation and mitigation in disadvantaged areas.
