FUSILLI is a Food and Natural Resources project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No.101000717. Over a duration of four years, FUSILLI will focus on supporting cities to facilitate their transition towards more sustainable food systems, in line with the FOOD2030 priorities. To achieve this goal, the FUSILLI project combines the expertise of 34 partners from 13 countries, including cities, universities, SMEs, NGOs, and industries (2020-2024) Link: https://fusilli-project.eu/

During the implementation of the project, a number of open public events were organized and held on the topics of food security, growing food products in the urban space, ecologically responsible waste management practices, the main of which were the following:

In July 2023, the Kharkiv Green Urban Fest 2023 took place on the basis of the Karazin University.

In November 2023, the First Kharkiv Food Forum "Kharkiv on the road to food security: food practices and principles of 5R" was organized and held on the basis of the University.

During 2022-2023, Zero Waste Academy and Zero Waste Camp were held for Kharkiv schoolchildren, during which young citizens were taught the correct behavior with waste in accordance with the 5R principle.

In addition, for 2021-2023, the project team conducted a series of sociological studies, in particular, included observation of the yard space of Kharkiv, a number of in-depth interviews with volunteers and stakeholders dealing with food security issues, as well as a survey of city residents on the topic "Assessment food quality and waste sorting practices during the war." Some of the results of these and other studies have already been published in national and international professional journals:
