Our Challenge

During the last decades, there has been a tendency to stigmatize people who cannot cover certain basic needs, such as food. Public food guarantee policies have not helped much either. But in a small municipality in Barcelona, in Prat de Llobregat, they believe they have succeeded in transforming the system to empower this group of people and foster a joint ecosystem with food producers. However, they do not know how this new system has affected the population, nor whether they have achieved the objectives that were proposed. If they can manage to find it out, they could put into debate the food guarantee policies that are made in the European Union. Hence, the goal of this challenge is to study the real impact that this service model has on the community and to provide evidence of the transformative benefits of its implementation.
