Assessment and planning of the Utrecht city region food system
RUAF Foundation and FAO partnered to support a City Region Food System Assessment and Planning process in seven cities selected from across the globe– Lusaka and Kitwe (Zambia), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Medellín (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), Toronto (Canada) and Utrecht (The Netherlands). A synthesis report on Utrecht, The Netherlands, as presented here, describes the experiences from each city in terms of planning and informed decision-making, prioritising investments and design of sustainable food policies and strategies to improve the resilience and sustainability of the entire food system. This entire series of 7 reports will provide a full overview of the experience of those cities, and culminated in a set of tools to support city regions to assess and better plan their food system around the world.
