CIRCULAR
FOOD
SYSTEM
Food systems in cities are actually not very resilient and self-sufficient, depending more and more on a system that tends to operate on a global scale. To reverse a set of weaknesses inherent to this lack of resilience, cities are promoting the implementation of production strategies that promote territorial proximity and the reduction of food waste through its circularity, reuse or recovery for energy purposes.
The Circular Food System operation will evaluate the food chain of Hub Criativo do Beato in a systemic and life cycle approach, which will include the definition of strategies in terms of supply, production and final disposal, for the agents of the local restaurant and the surroundings of the HCB.
Circular, a partner specialized in sustainability consultancy, will develop and promote pre-defined circularity strategies, and will explore the implementation of new strategies that may have their genesis during the evolution of the project, evaluating alternative options at the same time
A tool will also be developed to assess food flows associated with the catering system, which will produce performance indicators relating to the sustainability of the HCB food system.

We took another step in opening the Hub Criativo do Beato Living Lab to the community.
Samuel Niza, CEO of Circular, responsible for the design and implementation of the Circular Food System operation of the Living Lab, presented at the d’A Praça, the report “Circular food systems of urban genesis – contributions to a living laboratory at Hub Criativo do Beato” to an audience made up of partners, neighbours, startups, companies, organizations, institutions and professionals in the food, circularity and sustainability areas.
After sharing practical examples from the report, ideas and opinions were discussed, and we invited the audience to be part of the creation of a new HCB Living Lab community for the interaction of knowledge, experiences and initiatives.

On the 21st of July at 15:30, the report “Circular food systems of urban genesis – contributions to a living laboratory at Hub Criativo do Beato” will be presented to the community surrounding the HCB and other stakeholders in the food sector.
This document was produced within the scope of the work of the Living Lab of Hub Criativo do Beato and its main objective is to present a set of practical examples of contributions to the development of sustainable and circular food systems.
After the presentation, a discussion will be held around the topic and contributions from all those present will be collected with the aim of the creation of a community of interaction with the initiatives developed through the Hub Criativo do Beato Living Lab.
The presentation will take place at Hub Criativo do Beato, in the Praça building.
Presentation to the FoodLink team (project coordinated by CCDRLVT, AML and ICS-ULisboa) the work on Circular Food Systems that Circular Circular is developing together with Lisboa E-Nova, with the scope of the Hub Criativo do Beato Living Lab (project funded by EEA Grants Portugal). We’re sure it was the first of many iterations between projects with so much in common.
The presentation took place in the extraordinary space of the former Bread Factory of the former Military Maintenance, at Hub Criativo do Beato.
