The building of the City Teams represent a core step towards building an inclusive and participatory basis for the involvement of relevant actors in all cities in the EdiCitNet project. This report documents the current state and profile of all City Teams in the EdiCitNet project. We identified common barriers in order to provide action strategies for tackling upcoming challenges.

We aim to strengthen the co-creation and diffusion of expertise and knowledge on ECS, spread successful methodologies and replicable strategies. Innovative solutions and best practice related to ECS to drive socially inclusive urban regeneration processes worldwide based on mutual learning and thus benefits. EdiCitNet uses an integrated, cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approach to built up the Edible City Network.

The annual meeting of EdiCitNet was held in Girona (Spain) on 22‐25 October 2019 and it was hosted by our local partners ICRA and University of Girona. This is a report on the outcomes of the meeting.

The EdiCitNet annual conference for the year 2020 was held on 5-6th October as a virtual meeting, due to the Corona pandemic.

Risk management is crucial for ensuring sustainable outcomes of the EdiCitNet project. To minimise negative interferences, WP1 Urban Governance and Network Infrastructure team asked all EdiCitNet City Team coordinators to list the major risks in the categories (political, social, economic, environmental, organisational risk) that each City Team faces to achieve its goals and indicate the likely probability and impact of the identified risk (high, medium or low), and propose possible measures for preventing the risk or mitigating the expected impacts.

This is a status report on the implementation of the Living Labs in the Front-Runner Cities. As well as a detailed description of the implementations since 2019 the document also provides insights on the unexpected impacts on the Implementation Project Plans during the last years and gives an outlook on measures that will ensure the sustainability of the Living Labs.

This deliverable provides a report on the “Training of Trainers ” (ToT) held on 19-21 October 2019 in Girona (ES), back to back with the Annual Meeting of the EdiCitNet project. In the ToT the future trainers of the Follower Cities have been trained in the Transition Pathway Methodology (TPM) using as a real test case of an Edible City Solution (ECS) located in Girona.

The first phase of the transition pathways methodology (TPM) for anchoring Edible City Solutions (ECS) in cities aims at developing a system model within the respective urban context. This system model helps cities to understand their state of the art holistically and is the basis for creating future scenarios that show us how ECS can be used to address social challenges. 

This deliverable briefly introduces the concepts and principles of monitoring and indicators that monitoring is based on. We document the process of selecting indicators for monitoring, showing how a long list of potentially relevant candidate indicators was gradually narrowed down to a few selected indicators that might realistically be monitored in each ECS.

Here we have selected existing Edible City Initiatives located in the EdiCitNet Front-Runner Cities, to gain insights into the operations of initiatives and into the importance of key actors and their stakes in the realization and continuity of initiatives and businesses.

EdiCitNet is developing an online Marketplace for Edible City Initiative development as an integral part of the EdiCitNet public website. The goal is to connect initiatives, entrepreneurs and interested parties at the local, regional and global level, enabling global knowledge sharing and replication.

The Business Consulting Team (BCT) Action Plan is a description of activities that are going to be undertaken by the ECS Business Consulting Team during the lifetime of the project.

This project deliverable intends to thoroughly explain the Triple Bottom Line Business Models which are used throughout the project to provide scientific base for supporting different Edible City Initiatives.

How can the business models of Edible City Solution Initiatives (ECSI) be understood to support their continuity and upscaling?

This is the guiding question this Deliverable (seeks to answer through the analysis and typology of ECSI business models, including the derivation of strategies for continuity and growth per type.

This deliverable presents two key tools used for fostering communication at several levels in the Edible Cities Network project.

This Data Management Plan (DMP) characterises the existing and planned data management, data security, data access and policies within the EdiCitNet project.

The present Deliverable “ECS curricula, the training modules and the materials” is a first draft of how EdiCitNet can spread the idea of the Edible City with its Edible City Solutions (ECS) through different educational formats and above all how EdiCitNet can anchor it deeply in our increasingly urbanised world.

This deliverable presents three event formats focusing on participation, visibility and education, which have been adapted to the needs of EdiCitNet and the rapid spread of ECS.
