INCiTiS-FOOD Project
Research Project
Food systems encompass a wide range of actors, interactions, and infrastructure within the food
supply and value chain. In African city regions, there is a pressing need to improve food and nutrition
security (FNS) while addressing the environmental footprint and promoting circularity. INCiTiS-FOOD
project, aims to enhance African city region food systems by focusing on the availability of nutritious
and safe food, food access and affordability, food utilization and waste reduction, and food stability.
Through interdisciplinary research, stakeholder engagement, capacity-building, and Europe-Africa
partnerships, INCiTiS-FOOD seeks to co-create circular agri-food technologies, practices, and
business models in African cities and towns. This transformation is crucial for resilient and
sustainable urban farming, equity, and empowerment, aligning with overall sustainable objectives
and agendas.
