What is a Food-Smart City?
"a city or metropolitan area that
harnesses its potential to maximise the
social, economic and environmental
benefits of its food system whilst also
supporting its rural hinterland and
contributing towards global food security
and sustainability."

Aim
“To establish a collaboration between the
universities in the West Midlands that will
lead to the creation of a long-term
partnership that will provide, through
education, research and knowledge
transfer, the expertise to establish the
Food-Smart City concept as an achievable
proposition.”
