„The Future of Urban Food“ aims to produce results that are relevant for society and to foster the discourse about the further development of the Viennese Urban Agro-food System. To achieve that, an intensive exchange between researchers and societal stakeholders is necessary and to ensure this exchange the project is accompanied by a transdisciplinary advisory board.
Advisory Board
The board is built of important stakeholders from the Viennese urban agro-food system and will continuously evaluate the research progress and provide important inputs for the single research activities.
The following organizations are currently represented within the Advisory Board:
- Arbeiterkammer Wien
- Biogast
- Ernährungsrat Wien
- Institut für Soziale Ökologie
- Landwirtschaftskammer Wien

In addition „Future of Urban Food“ engages stakeholders in various other ways doing so, contributes to a societal discourse about the future of the WUAFS:
- We survey and communicate the social acceptance of different food habits
- We create together with several extended stakeholder groups scenarios for the WUAFSs in the year 2048
- We discuss those scenarios in numerous ways with Viennese citizens
- We develop concrete recommendations for politics and city administration
