We are looking for partners to join an innovative project focused on empowering sustainable food choices through libraries as hubs for food literacy and community engagement. This project is aligned with the Future Foods call, particularly Topic 3, and aims to leverage the role of libraries in both urban and rural contexts to tackle food insecurity, promote sustainable food systems, and enhance food literacy.

We already have a strong network of partners in France, Italy, Sweden, and the UK, and are now looking to expand our consortium by partnering with organizations in other countries. We seek:

Libraries and Media Centers: To support the implementation of educational activities and community-based initiatives.
Universities: To provide expertise in food sustainability, education, and impact evaluation.
Associations/NGOs: To assist with logistics and community engagement efforts.
Municipalities and Local Authorities: To connect the project with public policies for broader impact.
We are committed to building a collaborative and inclusive partnership and look forward to expanding our consortium with partners eager to contribute to sustainable food systems and community-centered solutions.
