This is a newsletter of kick-offs: We've kicked off our Science-Policy-Interfaces (SPI) - our networking platforms connecting stakeholders from the food system to move towards more sustainable food provision together - and got some interesting results.

We are also kicking off two new series in the newsletter: "Introducing...", this time featuring a short profile of our project coordinator UPV, and the series "SPI of the month" where we zoom in on one of our local Science-Policy-Interfaces.

And, last but not least, our Initial Conceptual Framework is out and available for download.
