EU Food Security HUB. Tackling food insecurity promoting sustainable and socially inclusive food and agriculture ecosystems.
The EU Food Security HUB project aims to promote cooperation, knowledge sharing and scaling up of good practices between organisations promoting food security and food sovereignty, while enhancing professional development to improve the social inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Its main motivation is to build a common European competency framework for innovative career pathways that contribute to addressing the challenge of food insecurity from a sustainable and socially inclusive approach.
EU Food Security HUB, funded by Erasmus+ and coordinated by Associació Benestar i Desenvolupament ABD, will run from December 2022 to June 2025 with partners IASIS, LAND Impresa Sociale, Fondazione ACRA, Urgenci and EQU
Needs analysis
After the pandemic, unemployment is one of the most serious problems in Europe: young people and the low-skilled are the most affected groups (Eurostat, 2021).
The EU Food Security HUB project addresses the need to improve the access of migrants, refugees and other vulnerable people to good quality education as a means for social inclusion. To achieve this, the EU Food Security HUB seeks to strengthen cooperation between different types of organisations, to emphasise public-private cooperation and to foster the creation of green jobs that contribute significantly to poverty eradication, while contributing to the green and sustainable transition of EU economies.
