Projects
We constantly initiate and take part in different projects, to make sure that our work stays relevant and fulfills the needs of our food community in Malmö and our members. On this page there is an overview of current and old projects to make our food system more sustainable. Do you have any questions aboutour projects or have an idea? Let us know!

SURFIT
One of the key challenges for sustainable urban food systems is to shorten the food supply chain by connecting food producers directly to consumers locally, or regionally. Sustainable food networks (SFNs) try to achieve this ambition, but struggle with scaling their often isolated and marginal position. The SURFIT project focuses on the concept of ‘catalysers’ to jointly experiment with and learn about scaling process of SFNs.

Sustainable Gastronomy Week 2025
Sustainable Gastronomy Week (SGW) is a global initiative launched by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to raise awareness of sustainability in food systems—from farm to table and back to the earth. Malmö Food Council is proud to host and develop this event locally for Malmö and the Söderslätt region. This Project is financed by Leader Söderslätt and the EU.
Project with sustainable innovation, AFRY, SLU, and Malmö Stad
Smakstaden
The Smakstaden project aims to outline one or more possible future solutions for sustainable urban food supply. The goal is to design a system where local and regional producers can deliver their products directly to the city's consumers.
