From Policy to Practice: Tracing the Evolution of Urban Food Policies Across London and Rotterdam
Urban food policies (UFPs) have emerged as key instruments for addressing food system challenges at the municipal level, often framed by scholars as tools for fostering sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience.

This article critically examines the evolut…

The aim of this paper is to address this research lacuna. Through its exploration of the social dining platforms VizEat in Athens and Eatwith in Barcelona, t…
