As part of its pathway to climate neutrality, the city of Padua has begun addressing the urban food system as a key but complex driver of emissions. The food system spans production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste, involving a wide range of actors who often operate without coordination. Its boundaries are difficult to define, and its impacts are not always fully visible within existing climate frameworks.

This project was supported by funding from the EU Cities Mission, provided through the City Expert Support Facility (CESF) of NetZeroCities.
