SHARECITY Research

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.

Food sharing economies: Foundation building & framework development

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. By exploring food sharing activities in 100 cities from around the world a framework was developed for identifying and categorising the practice.

This initial phase led to the development of the 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. For more information about using and licensing the SHARECITY100 Database check out our blog post. Our Briefing Note #1: SHARECITY100: Food Sharing in 100 Cities around the world presents some of the high level findings from analysis of the database.

Two papers from this phase of research have also been published:

Davies, A.R., Edwards, F., Marovelli, B., Morrow, O., Rut, M., Weymes, M. (2017) Creative construction: Crafting, negotiating and performing urban food sharing landscapes. Area, DOI: 10.1111/area.12340

In-depth investigation of food sharing economies

In order to examine in detail the workings of food sharing initiative and probe conceptual propositions developed in the framework and database SHARECITY researchers spent a number of months collecting data and working with food sharing initiatives in nine diverse cities: Dublin, Melbourne, Berlin, Singapore, Barcelona, San Francisco, New York, Athens and London

City Profiles derived from the SHARECITY100 Database and literature and policy reviews have been developed. Analysis of the rich body of ethnographic data is currently underway and results are being analysed for publication.

The future of food sharing in cities

The final phase of SHARECITY will consider the future of food sharing in cities and invite participants to visualise a range of possible scenarios and develop potential pathways to achieve these futures.
