What goes into the lived experience of accessing food in cities?

Learning more about why people make the food choices they do is a complicated and layered question that considers individuals, urban contexts, food access, and habits. To address this question, we use the Foodscape framework.

It’s about the context of the person — what are their food routine and how are they shaped by social conditions?

Cities ability and political will

Social environment

It’s about the regulatory environment — what food policies & programs are in place?

Spatial & City character

Nutrition, Health & Cultural habits

It’s about moving — where are things located and what is the quality of those spaces?

It’s about eating well — what do people know how to cook & how do they like to eat?
