New HORIZON Europe FutureFoodS project “RESHAPE” on reshaping food systems has been funded

We are pleased to announce that our new EU HORIZON research project titled “RESHAPE Reshaping food systems: value change transformation through reconnection” has been successfully funded. 

Co-funded internationally by the Horizon Europe FutureFoodS Call 1 and nationally by the Tübitak 1071 program, RESHAPE will focus on the transformation of food systems towards sustainability by developing and testing innovative, inter- and transdisciplinary, participatory approaches that reconnect people with food systems by relying on the scientific disciplines of agroecology, landscape ecology, rural sociology, ecological economics and political ecology.

The international consortium consists of Centro Superior de Investigaciones Científicas - Estación Biológica de Doñana in Spain, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, University of Córdoba, University of Southern Denmark, Boğazici University, and Eskelyst in Denmark.

RESHAPE will analyse five food products and their associated food systems in five Living Labs across Europe: berries and wild greens in Spain, Gouda cheese in The Netherlands, grass-fed meat in Denmark, and artisanal fish in Turkey.

Boğaziçi University team (Assoc. Prof. Pınar Ertör Akyazı from the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Assoc. Prof. Irmak Ertör from the Ataturk Institute for Modern Turkish History) will be specifically working on the artisanal fishery Living Lab in Istanbul.

The project will run from May 2026 to May 2029 and will receive 1,736,430 € of funding in total.
