Social Food Atlas

An atlas of food projects with a great social impact.

This online atlas makes visible, and findable, a wide variety of social food projects that, right now, are little known – even to each other. The Atlas you see here is a prototype; it is curated by John Thackara and a working group of social food producers. Feedback on the content, design and governance of the Atlas have been discussed by an inaugural Social Food Forum in Matera on the 10th March 2019.

Social Food Forum

The 10th of march 2019, John Thackara and 15 social food curator from all across Europe met in Matera to discuss about good practices of food production, and community wellness. As a legacy of #Matera2019, a Social Food Atlas and Social Food Forum were being launched to multiply the diverse ways in which the social dimensions of food create value that the world needs.
