Foodhubs
What is a Food Hub?
A Food Hub is a community of local operators aimed at making shared research and development decisions and enabling the adoption of innovations. The Food Hub acts as a centre of innovation providing an organizational/institutional framework for the collaboration between private and public actors/organizations operating in the local food value chains; providing information as well as logistical and organizational facilities; and strengthening the sustainability, nutrition-responsiveness, agro-biodiversity, cultural values, and food diversity of local food systems.
