 The project will set up use cases in Barcelona, Brussels, Paris, and the Venice-city region and study the social innovation triggered by P2P Food Labs in new or existing urban food communities. All communities will consider the full cycle of urban food systems (from production to waste). The project will test whether P2P Food Labs improve the quality of food production, lead to greater sociality, and provide adequate data for citizen science. Artistic methods are used to create a space for the needed disruptive action and to produce effective representations of the results.

+P2P Food Lab is a platform to support urban gardening, collective decision making, citizen science, and knowledge creation for all aspects of urban food. A P2P Food Lab integrates open greenhouses, sensors, DIY processing boards, telecommunication networks, pattern recognition, statistical analysis, phone apps, wikis, and visualization tools.
+The platform uses social media for the bottom-up organization of cooperative activities and for the gathering of knowledge. The project develops new economic models and paradigms for governance based on participatory democracy and self-organization and incorporates them in the platform for the community planning and food distribution.
+P2P Food Lab involves citizens in every aspect of the life cycle of the food value chain. For example, P2P Food Lab helps you get started
+growing your own vegetables. For that reason P2P Food Lab developed a Starter Kit to make growing vegetables easy.
+The data gathered in the project is used for two types of network analysis. The sensor data is combined with user's observations (notes
+and photos) and the advice and hypotheses expressed in the conversations between participants. The web site facilitate this bottom-up collection of data and emergence of reusable knowledge using a citizen science approach.
+The analysis of the exchanges between the stakeholders (participants, local private and public actors) aims to create a representation of
+the social and economic dynamics induces by P2P Food Lab. In particular, we trace the establishment and evolution of the P2P Food Lab Commons and the effects of different governance structures on the Commons.

-=====ARTISTIC PROJECTS / P2P=====
-===a Seed is a Seed is a Seed===
-//from seed to seedpod: about people, plants, food & traditions//
-There is a fast growing movement all over the world, in which citizens are creating urban food systems. These are sustainable, integrated systems of food production, processing, distribution, marketing, consumption and waste management in an urban landscape. These initiatives are motivated by economical needs of citizens in times of crisis as well as a growing awareness that we should develop forms of agriculture and food distribution which are less taxing to the environment and provide higher quality food. Localized food systems significantly change the lifestyle of those involved in it. They change production and consumption patterns and encourge self-governed cooperation among citizens, leading to more socially viable neighborhoods. They contribute to social cohesion, a growing awareness of environmental issues, and a new appreciation of the challenges of food production.
-The project builds further on existing communities already practicing urban agriculture in Mumbai and Brussels. Each of the participating communities will work with a selection of similar plants, and in every participating garden the full cycle of an urban food system (from production to waste management, from seed to seedpod) will take place.
-The development of the project over time (seasons) will be covered by the community itself, creating a multilayered and rich narrative which is oscillating between east and west, taking ecological but as well economical, political and social approaches into account. The observations, stories, pictures, discussions, songs and recipes will be uploaded on a shared online platform which is designed for collective project building. The platform supports distributed knowledge creation for all aspects in the form of a community memory.
-The title (a seed is a seed is a seed) is inspired on the Continuous Present, a literary style developed by Gertrude Stein. It is a metaphor for a different view on the same subject, the same time-slice described over and over again, from a different point of view.
