(10) Stories from the lab: main events (2021-2022)

All events organised within the Cities2030 Vicenza Food Lab have a common thread: to disseminate knowledge about the pivotal role of food for people, for the environment and for socio-economic well-being, with a specific focus on the role of cities and their periurban areas. In this page, some of the most important events/initiatives are briefly described.

Since the beginning of the project, the Living Lab was launched in La Vigna with a capacity-building process that continued throughout the duration of the activities.
