Welcome to the second edition of the SPOON Newsletter! 

Dear reader,

The SPOON journey is blending ideas, people, and action across Europe.

Across our six pilot regions, Citizen Science Labs have started their experimental activities. Citizens, researchers, and local partners are coming together to explore new ideas for fairer and more sustainable food systems. What started as plans and conversations is now turning into real collaboration on the ground.

In this edition, we invite you to meet our pilot cities and the people behind them. These local spaces are where communities come together to test ideas, exchange experiences, and discover new ingredients for change.

At the same time, a lot of work has been happening behind the scenes. Thanks to the collaboration and dedication of partners across the project, the first results of our research are now beginning to come together.

Read on to discover the latest updates and get a taste of what is already cooking across Europe!
