Food Relations

Across Europe, the number of food-related integration practices is growing, aiming at building sustainable processes of dialogue and mutual knowledge, creating relationships and opportunities for social and economic inclusion: urban and suburban community gardens, restaurants, catering services, new forms of social agriculture are some practices.

The project Food Relations is the European project aimed at strengthening the spaces for social participation, intercultural communication and the integration of Third Country Nationals in Europe, through the analysis, development and sharing of experiences that use food as a key medium for dialogue and inclusion.
