The COVID-19 pandemic unveiled the fragility of food sovereignty in cities and confirmed the close connection urban dwellers have with food. Although the pandemic was not responsible for a systemic failure, it suggested how citizens would accept and indeed support a transition toward more localized food production systems. As this attitudinal shift is aligned with the sustainability literature, this work aims to explore the tools and actions needed for a policy framework transformation that recognizes the multiple benefits of food systems, while considering local needs and circumstances. This perspective paper reviews the trends in production and consumption, and systematizes several impacts emerged across European food systems in response to the first wave of pandemic emergency, with the final aim of identifying challenges and future strategies for research and innovation toward the creation of resilient and sustainable city\/region food systems. The proposal does not support a return to traditional small-scale economies that might not cope with the growing global population. It instead stands to reconstruct and upscale such connections using a \u201cthink globally act locally\u201d mind-set, engaging local communities, and making existing and future citizen-led food system initiatives more sustainable. The work outlines a set of recommended actions for policy-makers: support innovative and localized food production, training and use of information and communication technology for food production and distribution; promote cross-pollination among city\/region food systems; empower schools as agents of change in food provision and education about food systems; and support the development of assessment methodologies and the application of policy tools to ensure that the different sustainability dimensions of the food chain are considered.<\/p>\n

La pand\u00e8mia de COVID-19 va donar a con\u00e8ixer la fragilitat de la sobirania aliment\u00e0ria a les ciutats i va confirmar l’estreta connexi\u00f3 que tenen els habitants urbans amb l’alimentaci\u00f3. Tot i que la pand\u00e8mia no va ser responsable d’un frac\u00e0s sist\u00e8mic, va suggerir com els ciutadans acceptarien i, de fet, donarien suport a una transici\u00f3 cap a sistemes de producci\u00f3 d’aliments m\u00e9s localitzats. Com que aquest canvi d’actitud est\u00e0 alineat amb la literatura de sostenibilitat, aquest estudi pret\u00e9n explorar les eines i accions necess\u00e0ries per a una transformaci\u00f3 pol\u00edtica\u00a0 que reconegui els m\u00faltiples beneficis dels sistemes alimentaris, tenint en compte les necessitats i circumst\u00e0ncies locals. Aquest document revisa les tend\u00e8ncies en producci\u00f3 i consum, i sistematitza diversos impactes sorgits a trav\u00e9s dels sistemes alimentaris europeus com a resposta a la primera onada d’emerg\u00e8ncia pand\u00e8mica, amb l’objectiu final d’identificar reptes i estrat\u00e8gies de futur per a la recerca i la innovaci\u00f3 cap a la creaci\u00f3 de sistemes alimentaris de ciutat i regi\u00f3 resilients i sostenibles. La proposta no d\u00f3na suport a un retorn a les economies tradicionals a petita escala que podrien no fer front a la creixent poblaci\u00f3 mundial. En lloc d’aix\u00f2, s’erigeix per reconstruir aquestes connexions utilitzant una mentalitat “pensa globalment, actua localment”, involucrar les comunitats locals i fer m\u00e9s sostenibles les iniciatives existents i futures del sistema alimentari liderat pels ciutadans. El treball descriu un conjunt d’accions recomanades pels responsables pol\u00edtics: donar suport a la producci\u00f3\u00a0 innovadora i localitzada d’aliments, formaci\u00f3 i \u00fas de tecnologies de la informaci\u00f3 i la comunicaci\u00f3 per a la producci\u00f3 i distribuci\u00f3 d’aliments; promoure la pol\u00b7linitzaci\u00f3 creuada entre els sistemes alimentaris de les ciutat\/regions; potenciar les escoles com a agents de canvi en la provisi\u00f3 d’aliments i l’educaci\u00f3 sobre els sistemes alimentaris; i donar suport al desenvolupament de metodologies d’avaluaci\u00f3 i l’aplicaci\u00f3 d’eines pol\u00edtiques per garantir que es considerin les diferents dimensions de sostenibilitat de la cadena aliment\u00e0ria.<\/p>\n
