The VISION4FOOD project is committed to building strong collaborations and cultivating meaningful synergies with similar initiatives that pursue common goals in transforming food systems. Through strategic alignment, we aim to foster knowledge exchange, maximize impact, and accelerate innovation across the sector.
By working in close synergy with other projects, VISION4FOOD promotes shared learning, coordinated approaches, and joint outreach efforts. These partnerships enhance our collective capacity to tackle the complex challenges of food system transformation from governance frameworks to individual consumer behavior.
VISION4FOOD synergies
FEAST
FEAST aims to advance the state of the art in research and innovation by bringing together different disciplines across the food system and, importantly, underpinning food actors’ behavioural dimensions, which is often missing in food system solutions. This approach will stimulate the co-creation of novel, practical and scalable community-based, technology-based and policy-based solutions.
CUES
CUES addresses the urgent need for a more sustainable food system that benefits the environment, society, and the economy. The project aims to foster a Triple Change in the food system concerning culture, food value chain, and policy. To this end, CUES will pilot nine food system interventions and policy dialogues, actively involving consumers, food value chain actors and policymakers. A learning community and toolkits for behavioural change and communication will be developed to motivate 3 million consumers to make sustainable food choices.
SWITCH
SWITCH aims to transform European food systems toward healthier and more sustainable dietary patterns. Over four years, the project engages citizens, policymakers, researchers, and businesses across six regional hubs in Europe— Donostia and the Basque Region (SP), Gothenburg (Sweden), Montpellier (France), Rome and the Lazio Region, Cagliari and the Sardinia Region (Italy), Berlin and the Brandenburg Region (Germany) —to co-create and implement innovative solutions for sustainable food systems.
By integrating scientific research, digital tools, and community-driven approaches, SWITCH aims to redefine food production and consumption, making sustainable diets more accessible and appealing to all. The project also provides policy recommendations to support the EU’s climate and sustainability goals.
TealHelix
TealHelix aims to advance food sustainability by empowering consumers through tailored, inclusive approaches. By combining motivational matching with tailored interventions, TealHelix will enhance consumer decision-making and address resistance to sustainability. The project focuses on creating and testing new labelling strategies and innovative digital solutions in six pilot countries (Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Greece, and Poland).
Drawing on life cycle analysis and consumer behaviour insights, TealHelix aims to create new tools for aligning consumer preferences with sustainability goals. Leveraging interdisciplinary expertise in marketing, psychology, and data science, TealHelix incorporates AI-driven innovations to improve food labelling practices.
