The current deliverable describes the developments and outputs of the FoodE (Food Systems in European Cities) European research project in relation with the activities for the assessment of pilots and identification of best performances. FoodE, funded by the Horizon 2020, was launched in 2020 and will last for 4 years. The consortium involves 24 organisations from 8 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Slovenia, and Spain) and aims at accelerating the growth of citizen-led food system initiatives and creating related innovative and inclusive job opportunities at local level. Building on the simplified assessment framework developed in the Data Inventory (FoodE D2.4) and in the Life cycle assessment, life cycle costing, and social LCA of 100+ CRFSI (FoodE D2.5), this work advances towards the extensive layer of the methodological framework previously developed. It collects, processes, and analyses primary data from the FoodE pilots across Europe, adopting a Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach, for assessing the social, economic, and environmental sustainability performances. The steps of the LCT are followed, entailing a) the goal and scope definition, b) the data inventory, c) the impact assessment, and d) the interpretation of results. Furthermore, it concretely defines the self-assessment tool providing a template able to deliver instant results on the sustainability performance of pilots. The presented extensive assessment paves the ground for the design of the pilot decision support tool. The integration of these specific outputs will deliver a useful set of tools for replicability and scalability of results to other pilot owners outside the FoodE project. Furthermore, they will also provide valuable support to decision makers in analysing the performance of initiatives in the CRFS context.

Abstract

The current deliverable describes the developments and outputs of the FoodE (Food Systems in European Cities) European research project in relation with the activities for the assessment of pilots and identification of best performances. FoodE, funded by the Horizon 2020, was launched in 2020 and will last for 4 years. The consortium involves 24 organisations from 8 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Slovenia, and Spain) and aims at accelerating the growth of citizen-led food system initiatives and creating related innovative and inclusive job opportunities at local level. Building on the simplified assessment framework developed in the Data Inventory (FoodE D2.4) and in the Life cycle assessment, life cycle costing, and social LCA of 100+ CRFSI (FoodE D2.5), this work advances towards the extensive layer of the methodological framework previously developed. It collects, processes, and analyses primary data from the FoodE pilots across Europe, adopting a Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach, for assessing the social, economic, and environmental sustainability performances. The steps of the LCT are followed, entailing a) the goal and scope definition, b) the data inventory, c) the impact assessment, and d) the interpretation of results. Furthermore, it concretely defines the self-assessment tool providing a template able to deliver instant results on the sustainability performance of pilots. The presented extensive assessment paves the ground for the design of the pilot decision support tool. The integration of these specific outputs will deliver a useful set of tools for replicability and scalability of results to other pilot owners outside the FoodE project. Furthermore, they will also provide valuable support to decision makers in analysing the performance of initiatives in the CRFS context.
