CITY OF BORDEAUX, FRANCE
(2021)
Food resilience diagnosis
CURRENT MISSION
In partnership with Ellyx and O tempora, Let's Food supports the Department of Gironde, the Collectif Acclimat'action and the City of Bordeaux in the prototyping of an experiment of a social security model of food (SSF) at the scale of the Gironde. The experiment includes 4 pilot territories where groups of citizens have been formed: the city of Bordeaux, the city of Bègles, the Sud-Gironde and the Pays Foyen. Citizens have thus formed collectively and must now co-construct an SSF model that meets the democratic requirements and food transition ambitions that they have set themselves via the Agreement Charter. They will then test this model for a year.

Building a sustainable
and resilient food system
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Durban's food system is largely industrialised and monopolised by a few large farms, while millions of small-scale producers, almost exclusively black, are unable to access markets and services to develop their businesses. The rapid arrival of supermarkets coupled with the levels of extreme poverty also lead to worrying nutritional situations: high rates of obesity and undernutrition. These are issues to be discovered through the diagnosis and the videos produced.
