System Innovation for Sustainability 3 is the second of three books of case studies covering respectively the three key consumption areas of mobility, food and agriculture, and energy use and housing — responsible for 70% of the life-cycle environmental impacts of Western societies — with the aim of stimulating, fostering or forcing change to SCP theory in practice.Sustainability issues are now clearly on the agenda for food producers and market actors, politicians and regulators, as well as being increasingly important in the decisions consumers make about food.This book focuses largely on providing answers to the question of how food production and consumption systems can stay within the limits of the carrying capacity of our natural environment. But it also considers the challenges of food security and nutrition in the context of sustainability and a growing world population.
The Open Garden Foundation (in Hungarian, Nyitott Kert Alapítvány) was registered in 1999 with the aim of promoting sustainable agriculture and community-supported local food systems. It is based in Gödöllő, a town with a population of 31,000 people, about 30 kilometres to the east of Budapest, Hungary.Starting a year before its official registration in 1999, the Open Garden has successfully been managing an organic market garden, and since 1999 a local food delivery system the organisation of which went through different stages (a detailed description is provided below). The Foundation has also been running education and training programmes for consumers as well as producers. In 2003, in cooperation with other nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) in the region, a social gardening programme was initiated to provide employment opportunities for people with special needs.1
