Work Package: Accelerating the Solution (WP2)Transforming our food systems to be circular, low-carbon and plant-based is essential for addressing climate change, regenerating communities and landscapes, and providing access to nutritious food. Luckily, most city-regions have an abundance of passionate innovators developing new solutions for the food system. These innovations are particularly powerful in transforming our food systems as they are adapted to and embedded in the local context. This results in a diverse array of innovations, addressing the specific local needs. Accelerating innovations is the process of providing targeted support & guidance to maximise the innovation potential more rapidly. Acceleration happens in 3 different modes:
  1. Maturing: increasing the readiness of an innovation to fulfil its purpose
  2. Combining: collaboration/cooperation between stakeholders to reach common goals
  3. Scaling: maximising the systemic impact of an innovation.
