LUPPA 3rd edition

(2024)

Throughout each edition, LUPPA is organized as a journey of learning and exchange among municipalities. This journey includes thematic seminars, online workshops, the LUPPA Lab – an in-person immersion and collaboration event among cities – and LUPPA Web, a live-streamed event that marks the end of the cycle and presents the initiative’s next steps.

In the 3rd edition (2024), LUPPA brought together ten cities from seven Brazilian states. The cycle also received support from the mentor cities of Curitiba (PR), Osasco (SP), Recife (PE), Salvador (BA), and São Paulo (SP), which shared experiences and best practices to strengthen the development of local food policies.

Shared experiences and collaborative solutions

The LUPPA Lab is the in-person gathering that marks a pivotal moment in the journey of each edition of the program. Over the course of several days, representatives from participating cities come together to deepen their learning, share experiences, and develop collaborative solutions to the challenges facing urban food systems.

In this edition, the LUPPA Lab was held in Curitiba (PR) from March 19 to 22, 2024.
