Alimentta

Alimentta was born in 2019 as a Think Tank to accelerate the transition towards sustainable food systems in Spain. Its action is organised around three main streams: 1) the co-production of high-quality scientific knowledge on topics such as the agroecological transition, sustainable fisheries and marine ecosystems, recommendations for a healthy, sustainable diet and participatory governance models 2) stakeholder mobilization and participation in territorial projects based on the Living Lab approach and 3) political incidence actions and initiatives. Alimentta is steered by 10 partners – seasoned researchers in their fields (e.g., agroecology, soil health, marine ecosystems, health), a team of technicians, 29 collaborators and a broader community of practice – farmers, SMEs, retailers, consumer groups, policymakers, etc-. Alimentta’s biggest strengths rely on its trans-disciplinary approach to sustainable food transition, its vast network of collaborators and its political influence.
