SWITCH Diet

Berlin - Brandenburg

Germany

In both the city of Berlin and the surrounding federal state of Brandenburg, there is a diverse and dynamic ecosystem of food initiatives, small producers and projects along the food chain, alongside politically supported food strategies. Baumhaus will coordinate a living lab by bringing the diverse stakeholders together to scale existing activities, to co-create new mechanisms and solutions and to engage more citizens. The goal: making the transition to sustainable and healthy diets a common project.

Baumhaus is already collaborating with a growing network of neighbourhood Food Hub initiatives (“LebensMittelPunkte”) who organise shared distribution, open cooking and eating activities. This decentralised neighbourhood network provides a unique opportunity for engaging citizens, scaling activities and connecting digital solutions with physical spaces.
