FEEDINN

Possibility spaces for a sustainable urban food system.

FeedINN  gets the transition processes in the food space Innsbruck going by creating concrete meeting and action spaces. The aim is to anchor sustainable food planning for the city of Innsbruck through "multi-level governance".

Concrete activities are: Networking and support of committed actors, creation of structures for sustainable food planning, support of exemplary cooperation projects for sustainable resource use and awareness raising.

Identifying, networking and supporting actors for sustainable urban food planning

Experimental field 1: Establish the Innsbruck market hall as a central node. Based on two concrete current challenges (waste reduction and youth nutrition education), the current management and market management are supported in this process!

Experimental field 2: Turning one of the last large agricultural open spaces in the city into a social-ecological showcase project with integration, educational and ecological value: a world field and an ecologically managed intercultural community garden are supported in their development.

 

Funding amount 110.000 Euro

Project duration : March 2021 - August 2022

17 March 2021 Inspection of the Kettenbrücke site: For the first time, all those involved in the implementation of the new use planned there for the world field and community garden met and concretely discussed the area and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead there. Present were: FeedINN project, representatives of the Sisters of Mercy Kettenbrücke, representatives of the mayor's office, feld:schafft, Netzwerkstelle Gemeinschaftsgärten Tirol.

-Interviews were conducted with stakeholders of the Innsbruck food system from production, administration, civil society, food industry. This provides deeper insights into challenges, opportunities and limits - output: Analysis of a sustainable food system and food space Innsbruck + Preparation and exploration of topics for the stakeholder workshops.

-Discussions were held with tenants in the market hall to arrive at visions for a more sustainable market hall and to look for concrete approaches to waste reduction.

The workshop: „Food as a field of action for sustainable and climate-neutral urban development in Innsbruck - dialogue, networking, strengthening" was successfully held on 29 September at the Innsbruck City Library. 37 people were present to learn about the results of the stakeholder interviews and to exchange ideas in small groups. At three thematic tables, there were intensive discussions on where the journey for sustainable food planning can continue in each case. For the topics "urban community catering" and "urban gardening", it was possible to build on past discussions and projects, and stakeholders with years of experience went straight into the in-depth discussion. The aim of the "Urban-rural relations for sustainable food systems" topic table was much more exploratory, as there is hardly any experience in this area in Innsbruck. Together with experts, the topic and the concrete possible approaches were outlined.
