“Food procurement and short food value chains. An analysis of case studies in public and private realms” edited by Davide Fassi (Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano), published by FrancoAngeli. The PPP-URB project (Public and Private Procurement and Short Food Value Chains in Urban Areas) is a key initiative within the Onfoods PNRR research program, aimed at reimagining urban food systems. This volume showcases how the project, coordinated by the Department of Design, implemented a systemic design approach to integrate various disciplines and viewpoints, addressing the complexity of the topic. By analyzing case studies, the project investigates the role of food ecosystems in small territorial units, with a particular focus on university campuses, to understand their influence on local systems. The volume was produced within the framework of the Dipartimenti di Eccellenza initiative, for which the Department was selected by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with "Design for Systemic Change", a project that addresses the complex challenges of ecological and digital transitions through an integrated and experimental design approach, with the aim of developing circular and sustainable solutions.
