NLD: Eating in the hoodBREAD Collective

(CH)

Interdisciplinary Dialogue, Mediation and Transmission, Citizen Assembly / Discussion

BREAD Collective in collaboration with foodculture days

Through interviews, participatory workshops, and discussion groups conducted in 2024 in Vevey, the two collectives explored local food practices within transcultural urban contexts. The NLD project aims to highlight the food knowledge of citizens and food communities, to identify needs related to sustainable food systems, and to support entrepreneurial initiatives, particularly those emerging from diasporas.

The Citizen Assembly "Eat in the Hood" marks a moment of sharing and exchange around the findings collected, and opens pathways to strengthen knowledge-sharing, social ecology, plurality, and the sustainability of local food systems. The assembly is open to all and will be followed by a convivial meal featuring regional products.

The B.R.E.A.D Collective was launched as a think-and-action group working towards equity in food systems. It is a network of activists specializing in food equity, and acts as a research center, project incubator, and knowledge dissemination platform for the general public and governments. Its goal is to empower people to transform their food systems centered on their desires.
