Nutrire Milano. Energie per il cambiamento Feeding Milan. Energies for change .

Glossary (draft) Framework project: a project that, through a set of specific actions , promotes and coordinates a multiplicity of self-standing local projects in order to enhance large scale, socially driven, sustainable changes. Local project: a self-standing project that, in the context where it is embedded must be: economically, technologically and socially viable. A nd, therefore , it must refer to locally already existing active communities or to communities that are activated by the same project proposals. Framework action: a framework project initiative specifically finalised to strength the different local projects (increasing their visibility and coherence) and to communicate the Framework projects, as a whole. … ....... Context: the natural and social environment where the project is embedded. It includes the description of the current situation in terms of resources, opportunities and risks Main problem : a recognised problem that a design team can solve. It is the main reason why the project exists. Vision : the synthetic description of the desirable condition the project aims to. That is: a positive possible future that can be built thanks to a creative use of available resources and existing drivers of change. Goals : the set of specific results to be achieved, in order to fulfil a given vision. Strategy: the combination of existing drivers and specific actions thanks to which different goals can be achieved and the whole vision can be implemented.

1.1 Context Agricultural Park South Milan . Managed by Provincia di Milano 63 municipalities (including Milan) 47.000 ha, mainly for agro-industrial production not for city provision. Sustainable, local and organic agriculture only 3% (1400 ha) Rich historical heritage (abbeys, “cascine”…) Rural villages and natural resources (water, woods…) Cultural mix (autochthons, immigrants, city dwellers…) Efficient irrigation system designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Growing demand of local good food form the city The biggest agricultural park in Europe, ignored by the city dwellers Agricultural Park South Milan area

1.2 Main problem Agricultural Park South Milan . A rururban region challenged by building speculation, where the boundaries between city and countryside are blurring due to urban sprawling, and agriculture is suffering and no longer profitable.

1.3 Framework project: vision and goals Vision A rural-urban area where agriculture flourishes feeding the city and, at the same time, offering citizens opportunities for a multiplicity of farming and nature related activities. Goals To promote a shift from industrial agriculture to organic multifunctional farming thanks to the support of existing best practices and the development of new, specifically conceived, projects. To conceive and develop a new set of services to improve the quality of life in the country side, and to facilitate the links among farms and the city. To promote a new culture of food and agriculture and to rise between the citizens the consciousness of the Parco Sud relevance for the quality of life in Milan. Photo: Anna Meroni - 2007

1.4 Framework project: strategy Strategy To transform the proximity to the city from a disadvantage to an advantage, promoting the scenario of “zero miles food and tourism”. To support existing best practice and to make their activities more visible in order to extend them to other farms and citizens. To build new food networks based on the two main concepts of demediation (to shorten up the agrifood chain) and multifunctionality (to promote economies of scope).

Agricultural Park South - Milan’s Slow Food farmers’ market Promoted by Slow Food Italy and Provincia di Milano Granted by Comune di Milano Producers: from Park South, Lumbardy and some guests from other regions Photo: P.Bolzacchini e A.Cecchini - 2010

1.5.2 Framework project: Local project 2 La filiera del Pane (the Bread chain) Milan’s bread chain from the crop to the shop. Milan is suffering form a lack of good bread. Also, in last years, its price has arised very high, so many people buy industrial one from the supermarkets. The aim of this project is to re -build the bread chain from the quality of the crops, throght the processes of transformation, to the final consumer, who can buy good, clean and fair bread at the right price in the shops.

1.5.3 Framework project: Local project 3 Ortaggi per la città (Veggies for the city) Vegetable local production and distribution. In Milan there is no chance for city dwellers to buy local fresh vegetables though the mainstream distribution. Despite this, some farms activated some shy attempts for shopping in farm. The aim of this project is to bring fresh veggies to the urban population, boosting de-mediated ways of selling, both in the city and in the farms.

1.5.4 Framework project: action 1
Scenario building
A metropolitan agri-food model of excellence: a rural-urban area where agriculture flourishes feeding the city and, at the same time, offering citizens opportunities for a multiplicity of farming and nature related activities.
To fulfil this vision, designers can manage several activities like:
Envisioning
Creating ideas
Sharing an generating consensus
Territorial analysis
Case studies

Scenario building
Envisioning
Creating ideas
Sharing an generating consensus
Territorial analysis
Case studies

Digital platform
The digital platform aims to support the collaborate among all communities working on the project at different layers: it is a tool that supports the 3 local projects.
Layers structure:
Social network base (as a mash-up of existing social media and our user database)
Enabling solutions
Collaborative services
Events

Communication
It aims to create an iterative confrontation between designers and the local communities
Organisation of seminars and co-design workshops to help the iterative confrontation between designers and co-producers
Activating permanent education of the consumers (co-producers)
Organising academic conferences

Systemising
It is the practical application of the framework, that consists in:
Building the digital platform to start creating some links between the local projects, and to give substance to the framework
Showing who the farmers are and what they do (eg : farmers selection for farmers’ market according to quality criteria and the systemised way they are presented at the market)
Creating synergies among the actors.

2. Local project: examples 1. Mercato della Terra di Milano (Milan Slow Food’s farmers’ market) 2. La filiera del Pane (The bread chain) 3. Ortaggi per la città (Veggies for the city)

2.1 Local project 1 Photo: P.Bolzacchini e A.Cecchini - 2010 Mercato della Terra di Milano. Agricultural Park South - Milan’s Slow Food farmers’ market Promoted by Slow Food Italy and Provincia di Milano Granted by Comune di Milano Producers: from Park South, Lumbardy and some guests from other regions

2.1.1 Local project 1: context and main problem Photo: P. Bolzacchini e A. Cecchini - 2010 Main problem City dwellers in Milan cannot find local good produce in the mainstream distribution system. This system, also, keeps the chain between the farmer and the consumer very long, with cost increasing and small revenues for the farmer. Context Located in Milan, in the former local vegetables market of the city. The Farmers’ market can be a good system of de-mediated selling from the producer to the co-producer. It’s part of a network of markets yet running in other cities in Italy

2.1.2 Local project 1: vision and goals Goals Support the existing best practices by help them selling their produce. Help the farmers in organising the market Vision Farmers need a chance to meet up other farmers and consumers and exchange their produces in a public place. This is a place where people can enjoy buying local produce and talking to the producers, and learn about good food

2.1.3 Local project 1: strategy Photo: P. Bolzacchiini e A.Cecchini - 2010 (Coherence to the framework strategy) the project supports the existing best practices by building a network of producers and consumers to help de-mediation It aims to become self organising, so to provide proper infrastructures and tools to the producers It offers educational and teaching activities to awaken the city to sustainable consumption. Combining increasing interest of people about local food and the will of farmers to move towards to organic production and demediation : it means o ffering high quality food only from local small farms, according to the consumers trend. The crisis of the agro-industry can push the farmers to switch to a more sustainable way of production (organic crops, de-mediated selling systems…) The role of well know association as guarantee of good quality produce Use technologies to help the meeting between the farmers and the consumers

2.1.4 Local project 1: Activities and results Result A monthly market every 3rd Saturday, with seasonal produce from Agricultural Park South Milan and Lumbardy, Slow Food Presidia and Slow Food Taste Laboratories (Laboratori del Gusto) Activities Selecting and recruiting of the farmers, according to quality parameters Get the permissions from local authorities Organising of the logistics and the turn over among the farmers Communicating the event to the city Provide a tool(kit) to help farmers in organising the market

3. Design role (draft) Nourishing Milan is largely based on several Design research and teaching experiences on new food network in the Milano area. In its development, designers played (and will play) a major role in order to trigger, promote and facilitate a larger co-design process.

3.1 Systemizing Systemising : to improve the overall system effectiveness. It consists in connecting the actors and the resources, so that they generate synergies and, through this collaboration, they share risks and experience .

3.2 Visioning Visioning to facilitate the social conversation on what to do and how. That is: to create consensus and to make the possible solutions visible.

3.3 Scenario building Scenario building to (collaboratively) create a common vision about a desirable future and the strategy to implement it.

3.3 Communicating Communicating in order to make the project and the project results visible and understandable.

3.4 Platform building Platform building intended as the development of a set of digital services. These digital services are conceived to share information and to support the involved partners in the project co-creation and management. and a set of social media

3. Design role (draft) … to be concluded!
