Role in the project
The main role of WINGS in FUSILLI is to provide digital technologies and innovation for fostering the Urban Food System Transformation. More specifically, WINGS will design, develop and validate in FUSILLI Living Labs the following innovations:
- Knowledge platform on integrated urban food governance: Online platform, by coupling the learning questions to best practices and strategies to realize integrated urban food governance. This comprises an advanced search engine, in which the user types keywords of questions/challenges and the platform returns relevant results (and relevant documentation).
- Gamification for behavioural change: Social game via a mobile application to foster the behavioural change, e.g. towards healthy sustainable diets and nutrition, responsible production and consumption in citizens.
- Benchmarking tool for food system transformation: ICT platform and dashboard to monitor and evaluate a) the compliance of the current status of the city with existing policies, as well as new defined targets, b) the development and adoption of any transformative solution, like an identity card for the city in terms of being an agent of food system transformation.
