Challenges such as climate change, dwindling resources and pollution pose new questions for cities. Urban areas are once again becoming food spaces. Topics such as food security, sustainable agriculture and bioeconomy are also integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. A key goal here is to sustainably supply urban areas with healthy and regional food in order to make them more crisis-resistant.

To address these challenges, the ITA's CITY.FOOD.BASKET project team is trying to find out how regional shopping baskets can be promoted in cities such as Graz and Vienna. The aim is to define regional baskets for different consumer groups and to try them out in practice and test them together with citizens. The urban food system - from producers to consumers - will be evaluated ecologically, socially and economically.
