In today's episode we will find out how municipalities can contribute to creating sustainable food environments. I had the chance to interview Thays Thatiane Padilha, previous project planner and international relationships manager at the secretariat for food security at the municipality of Curitiba, Brazil. Thays will tell us more about different inspiring initiatives such as how the municipality has built an urban farm at the city centre of Curitiba, how they create community gardens in empty spaces and what are the solidarity tables and the restaurants of the people. 
In the second half of the episode we will have a conversation with Davide Zarri, project officer at the municipality of Bergamo, in Italy.  Davide will explain how different public initiatives have been developed to foster sustainable food environments. We will learn about the biodiversity valley, the project of organic school canteens, the food policy council and much more. So, get ready for an exciting episode where you can hear of public initiatives that can be potentially replicated in your municipality as well!
