About the ‘City Agro-Park’ Lab

The Ostend FoodSHIFT Accelerator Lab will elevate the local food sector with a newly developed agricultural park managed by a “social farmer”.

It will strengthen the link between the local producers and the catering sector and produce high quality education on local products, short food supply chains and food waste targeted at chefs. For example, it will collaborate with existing ongoing initiatives to deliver freshly caught fish directly to consumers.

The Lab will work to combat poverty by offering new jobs and supporting vulnerable societal groups.
