With planetary urbanisation fast approaching there is growing clarity regarding the un-sustainability of cities, not least with respect to food consumption. Sharing, including food sharing, is increasingly being identified as one transformative mechanism for sustainable cities: reducing consumption; conserving resources, preventing waste and providing new forms of socio-economic relations. However, such claims currently rest on thin conceptual and empirical foundations.

SHARECITY will establish the significance and potential of food sharing economies to transform cities onto more sustainable pathways the project by:

*Developing deeper theoretical understanding of contemporary food sharing
*Generating comparative international empirical data about food sharing activities within cities
*Assessing the impact of food sharing activities
*Exploring how food sharing in cities might evolve in the future

Conducting such frontier science SHARECITY will open new research horizons to substantively improve understanding of how, why and to what end people share food within cities in the 21st Century.

The building blocks of SHARECITY were created in 2016 when the team of researchers came together to review key concepts, existing theoretical approaches and research methodologies relating to food sharing.

This initial phase led to the development of the [https://sharecity.ie/research/sharecity100-database/ SHARECITY100 Database ], an open access and interactive database that presents key variables for the analysis of more than 4000 initiatives across 100 cities in 44 countries and 6 continents.
