Cities across Europe face growing challenges in building resilient, sustainable, and socially inclusive food systems, while strengthening cooperation with their peri-urban and rural surroundings. The CoFarm4Cities project explores and tests co-farming approaches that foster closer urban–peri-urban collaboration, support local food production, and improve governance across administrative and sectoral boundaries.

This international webinar will present key results and practical insights from pilot cities including Krakow, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Turin, and Budapest, and provide a space for exchange with follower cities and professional stakeholders. The event is designed to support mutual learning on the transferability of project approaches, governance challenges, and policy levers for strengthening urban food system cooperation.
