The Future of Food Markets

Food markets have been among the most affected vendors during the Covid-19 pandemic. These markets have social and cultural importance, as well as holding a lot of potential for sustainability and local economy and innovation.

Together with the Inter-American Development Bank, our International Urban and Regional Development Programme will host a webinar on The Future of Food Markets in Latin America, including some best practices from European IURC Cities Madrid and Rotterdam.

We look forward to welcoming you to the virtual discussion on food markets as key actors to building more resilient cities, urban-rural linkages in the region, and fostering innovation to better connect producers, sellers and consumers.

We will also share international experiences in the management and activation of markets, as well as identify potential partners to provide technical assistance in the coming months so that new projects can be designed.

Join us on Monday, 25 October at 9.00-10.00 AM (Washington DC).
