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.

FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.

To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.

An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.

Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue

The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.

In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:

Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.

Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.

Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.

Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.

THE INNOVATION:

Siloe is a social cooperative founded in 2015 aimed at guaranteeing dignity to people with social problems and young people in difficulty
by employing them in farming activities. It produces different organic products such as olives, vegetables, processed agro-food products,
and it provides services of gardening and marketing of fresh and processed products. The main aim is thus to create economic independence through the production and sale of products. The adults in difficulty who work in the cooperative are hosted by the family house of Padre Dante, who is the head of the cooperative and also spiritually guides the recovery itself. The focus of the work is on social rehabilitation through work on field.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Siloe aims to continue it’s activities in supporting disadvantaged people, empowering them in their capacity to contribute to society (maturing).

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:

Founded by Simon van Reusel in 2017, Ter Doorn sells organic produce sourced from 15 local farmers at local markets. As well as being well connected with local farmers, Simon ensures a full assortment by purchasing from organic wholesalers and local product traders. Ter Doorn operates on the principle of ensuring that farmers have a substantial share of the final product price, with a focus on economic and environmental sustainability. All products sold by Ter Doorn are organic, and are sourced through transparent and fair relationships with farmers.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Ter Doorn aims to expand the level of collaboration it has with local stakeholders, and aims to stimulate a versatile local food system (combining). This could take the form of a cooperative distribution system that allows for collaboration between producers, buyers and logistics actors.
