THE INNOVATION:

The Bazaar is a grassroots initiative of local farmers and consumers in Wroclaw creating the Short Distance Bazaar. It was established in
2009 as a consequence of the need to have access to good quality, local food on a weekly basis. The introduction of Saturday markets satisfied the need of eaters from Wroclaw, while for farmers it gave more time and relieved them from frequent trips and organizing logistics of individual customer deliveries. Throughout these years, the Bazaar has been accompanied by events raising awareness of the way food is produced, and of the traditions associated with the old varieties of plants sold at the Bazaar (cereals/fruits). A close-knit community has formed, also between buyers and suppliers.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The Bazaar is now in the process of finding a new location for the market to be held, as well as to provide space for cultural activities such as workshops, exhibitions and meetings for exchange of energy and thoughts. This step will allow The Bazaar to mature and offer more diverse value than just the market alone.

THE INNOVATION:

From Hunger was started in 2020 during the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, many people lost their jobs or fell into financial difficulties. From Hunger focuses on the collection of leftover fruits and vegetables from wholesalers located at the Targ
Piast market square, and redistribution to people in need. From Hunger is supported by volunteers who offer to drive to collect and distribute food, communicating mainly through a dedicated Facebook group. The group operates based on a set of guidelines to make sure
that food is distributed fairly to those who need it most. From Hunger aims to ensure that local people’s basic food needs are satisfied, making use of local, otherwise wasted resources.

LOOKING AHEAD:

From Hunger would like to have access to a kitchen to allow for the preparation of fresh meals using the leftover produce (maturing). Access to a larger car or van would be useful for efficient transportation of the food, as well as a source of funding to pay for fuel, repairs and other materials that help the initiative to run.

THE INNOVATION:

Apple Reserve is an innovative juice business that makes use of traditional apple varieties such as Antonówka, Kronselska or from traditional orchards, respecting the Polish countryside landscape, local ecosystems, biodiversity, circularity, in the spirit of less-waste. The founders were driven by the need for alternatives to large-scale monocultures often seen in modern agriculture, and to find a way to offer an alternative product to address the high quality soft drinks market. ”We do not discuss with nature, we take what it offers us; in this way, every year we collect unique apples, which, depending on the nature, we have sometimes more and sometimes less”.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Apple Reserve aims to encourage Polish consumers to opt for artisanal, local products more often, with understanding of the impact on health, biodiversity and natural resources. To do so, Apple Reserve aims to upscale to new markets, especially Wroclaw and the Lower Silesia region.

THE INNOVATION:

In 2017, the TRATWA/The RAFT association took over a green space in front of the TimeSpace (Czasoprzestrze?) building in Wroclaw, covering approximately about 10,000 m2. This space is being gradually converted to a community garden, a public place intended for the inhabitants of Wroc?aw, maintained by the TRATWA (The Raft) Association and volunteers. The community garden serves to integrate the residents and enable them to organize barbecues or picnics, and offer space for art exhibitions, workshops and outdoor sports. The garden is a permaculture garden, based on growing (edible) plants in harmony with nature.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The RAFT is now focusing on maturing activities that will help secure the vision of creating a positive political and social atmosphere at the garden. For example, a coordinator will be needed to maintain the overview of the garden and activities of volunteers and residents. Upscaling of some of the popular workshops is also being considered.

THE INNOVATION:

Healthy Seeds is a plant-based yogurt producer that was inspired by the founder, Elzbieta Henn’s, own experiences with dairy allergies. Elzbieta began experimenting with alternative yogurt formulas using grains and ingredients such as coconut milk, flax seed, millet and hemp seeds, and eventually moved from experimental production at home to commercial production at scale. This required Elzbieta to leave behind her career in finance to take on the challenge of bringing a new product to the market. Healthy Seeds maintains a zero-waste philosophy at procurement, production and consumption levels; the production process is waste-free, and the yogurts are packaged in reusable glass jars.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Healthy Seeds is currently focusing on the market in Wroclaw, and would like to expand their product range to provide a comprehensive assortment of plant-based yogurt, dressings and sauces for example (maturing). In the future, upscaling to other areas of Poland may also be of interest, leveraging on citizen support and new partnerships.

THE INNOVATION:

Created from the ideas of four passionate co-founders with broad experience in the catering sector, TAJFUN is an innovative restaurant concept that focuses on the use of local ingredients and artisan products to show the potential of vegetarian and vegan food. Minimizing waste is a key principle at the restaurant, meaning that creativity is an essential part of the menu development. Despite only using approximately 10 core ingredients, the restaurant is able to offer 20 different vegetarian dishes inspired by Asian cuisine. The team focuses on providing high-quality, flavorful food, whilst fusing the use of local ingredients to produce oriental dishes.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The TAJFUN team dreams to produce as much of the food serves at the restaurant from scratch (e.g. make the noodles themselves (maturing). This may require upscaling to a larger premises, though this is not a step they are aiming to take in the immediate
future.

THE INNOVATION:

OOO’s activities connect different generations and activate residents to protect green areas, including allotment gardens, against the progressive development of the city and sale to developers. Educational activities focus on combining good, forgotten practices of urban gardening with the current problems faced by today’s city: the atomization of society, shifting responsibility for the environment and climate to “others”, generating mostly CO2 and waste through a consumer lifestyle. In O?bin, the aim is to convert a section of family allotments into an open community garden where we can organize a series of classes such as garden architecture, ecology, gardening and historical walks in the local area.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The OOO team dreams of the creation of a network of partner gardens (maturing) across Poland which, thanks to cooperation, regular meetings, joint initiatives, etc. could have a real impact on attitudes to food. This will require close collaboration with local municipalities and NGOs to generate systematic and social change (combining).

THE INNOVATION:

The Earth Market is based on the passion and belief that food obtained through short supply chains is of greater biological value than that mass produced and available in a conventional supermarket. In this sense, the Earth Market focuses on nutritional issues, rather than economic issues. In 2016, it was decided to conduct an experiment entitled Earth Market on the basis of whether the idea of selling local products is accepted. The Earth Market sells local, artisan food products, and has now grown to offer an educational space, workshops, and exhibition of local artists.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The Earth Market team aims to refine the market model and continue maturing the initiative to higher quality and character, with potential to provide a broader variety of activities and educational elements. To work within time and personnel resources, the team intends to maintain the size of the market as it now stands.

THE INNOVATION:

Foodsharing is a nationwide initiative aimed at reducing food waste. It encourages sharing of food surpluses through the so called “Jad?odzielnie” (Foodsharing places) – available places in the form of fridges, from which everyone can take something for themselves or leave it for others. These are not help points but places to build awareness about the problem of food waste, and to provide a rapid solution that does not require paperwork or administrative issues. The Foodsharing is coordinated by a group of volunteers, who build connections with local actors such as supermarkets and bakeries to facilitate the sharing of otherwise wasted food.

LOOKING AHEAD:

The Foodsharing team hopes to expand their activities to other areas of Wroclaw, engaging more residents and volunteers (upscaling). With these people on board, it is easier to maintain and coordinate the foodsharing, and to bring attention to the food waste challenge.

THE INNOVATION:

In Lower Silesia, Wroclaw, a beekeeping foundation has been set-up to use the apiary and beekeeping as an educational resource teaching
children and adults about the process of making honey, but above all – the importance of bees. The beekeeping foundation now has access
to a location at the Capitol Musical Theater in Wroclaw where they are able to keep hives and provide educational sessions. The bees are only a starting point in the discussion about the role and structure of the city as such. The harmony between man and nature in a modern metropolis and, above all, the location of the apiary in the center makes it easier to break through mental barriers concerning the function of urban space.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Lukasz Wyszkowski, founder of the initiative, eventually hopes to provide a regular teaching program (maturing), for which a funding source/model and further partnerships must be sought (combining). However, Lukasz does not view the initiative as a commercial idea,
and focuses on using the bees as a means of inspiration and learning.
