Hungry EcoCities
Paths to Progress Experiments
Hungry EcoCities Paths to Progress Experiments (PPEs) is a 14-month support programme designed to explore and address challenges identified by agri-food SMEs, contributing to the development of a healthier, more sustainable, and responsible future food system. These experiments will take place in the selected SMEs concrete test sites.
The program adopts a multidisciplinary, art-driven innovation approach. Initially, the SME collaborates with a consortium and a selected Creative Studio, aligned with one of the Hungry EcoCities directions (Mega Scale, Local Conditions or City+Farming Synergies). Through a matchmaking process, the SME is paired with an Artist, that will experiment in collaboration with the SME on its test site.
