CITY OF BORDEAUX
(2021)
Food resilience diagnosis
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
In partnership with VertigoLab, we carried out a diagnosis of the food resilience of the city of Bordeaux. The roadmap proposed to the elected officials should help strengthen the territory's ability to feed itself in the face of future crises.
CITY OF PARIS
(2021)
Food system sustainability assessment
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Between 1970 and 2018, in the context of a galloping urbanisation, the Grand Paris metropolis lost 72% of its agricultural land. The green belt that fed Paris until the beginning of the 20th century has now well and truly disappeared, although the beginnings of a new dynamic in favour of urban agriculture are emerging.

CITY OF MARSEILLE
(2021)
Food system sustainability assessment
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The City of Marseille is a territory marked by strong socio-economic disparities and high rates of poverty. This situation leads to inequalities in access to a quality food supply according to income but also to its geographical location with certain areas overexposed to junk food and lacking in healthy food supply.

NANTES MÉTROPOLE
(2021)
Food system sustainability assessment
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Nantes is located in the heart of a highly diversified agricultural territory. The specificity of its soils and the history of the territory have enabled it to develop typical crops but also to maintain extensive livestock farming. However, local agriculture is insufficient to meet local food needs.

GRAND LYON
(2021)
Diagnosis of food system sustainability
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The Lyon metropolitan area is a dynamic territory that attracts newcomers every year. The area benefits from a large and diversified agricultural production, which is however threatened by the urban sprawl associated with the development of the city. How can we reconcile population growth, economic development and a sustainable local food system?

NEW AQUITAINE REGION
(2021)
Support the development of
sustainable and solidarity-based
food initiatives
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
We are collaborating with Vertigo Lab to identify practices with a high social and ecological utility in favor of a sustainable and solidarity-based food system in the New Aquitaine Region. The objective is to improve the efficiency of the current support systems of the New Aquitaine Region in response to the needs of project leaders.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Within the framework of the PROTEGE programme and in partnership with the New Caledonian consultancy firm Kahn & Associés, the Polynesian consultancy firm DAI Consulting and the Wallisian consultancy firm Fenu'Agri, we are assisting the 3 French PTOMs (French overseas territories) in the Pacific in their transition towards sustainable, resilient and supportive food systems. Dependence on imports, the explosion of junk food, inequitable distribution of value along the food chain... There are many issues at stake.
Different stages of work are planned within the framework of this study: diagnosis of the food system, impact analysis of local initiatives and co-construction of a strategic and operational framework for each territory.

DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA
(2020)
Building a sustainable
and resilient food system
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Durban's food system is largely industrialised and monopolised by a few large farms, while millions of small-scale producers, almost exclusively black, are unable to access markets and services to develop their businesses. The rapid arrival of supermarkets coupled with the levels of extreme poverty also lead to worrying nutritional situations: high rates of obesity and undernutrition. These are issues to be discovered through the diagnosis and the videos produced.

VALPARAISO, CHILE
(2019)
Building a sustainable
and resilient food system
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The food system in Valparaiso, Chile, faces many challenges: a neo-liberal economic model that favours national economic development at the expense of small local producers, low household purchasing power that makes access to healthy food difficult, and a strong legacy of the Pinochet dictatorship that still engenders a fear of change. Issues to be explored through the diagnosis and the films produced.

HÔ CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
(2019)
Building a sustainable
and resilient food system
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Ho Chi Minh City and Lyon have maintained cooperative relations since 1997. Given with the many challenges facing Ho Chi Minh City (significant use of chemicals in agriculture, vulnerability to climate change, soil pollution, etc.), initiatives are emerging that need to be supported.

TEHRAN, IRAN
(2019)
Building a sustainable
and resilient food system
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The Iranian food system is facing several challenges, threatening the food security of its inhabitants and contributing to the depletion of resources: international economic sanctions leading to unprecedented inflation and price increases, water scarcity, and intensive and inappropriate farming practices. Some initiatives are emerging, but remain isolated.
