Research protocol for mobile research labs on food sharing : Tracing costs, investments, challenges, drivers, and success factors to establish and maintain food sharing initiatives

• Task 3.1 in Work Package (WP) 3 of the CULTIVATE project aims to investigate costs, investments, challenges, drivers, and success factors to establish and maintain urban and peri-urban food sharing initiatives (FSIs). This investigation builds on the conceptual framework, which has been developed from a systematic literature review on the topic of food sharing and enriched with topics from several compatible disciplines (Section 3). The framework will be applied and refined in mobile research labs (MRLs) in three Hub cities of the CULTIVATE project, Barcelona, Milan and Utrecht, to capture business models, the evolution and experiences of food sharing practices. This research protocol aims to provide comprehensive guidelines for MRLs on how to study business models, evolution and experiences of FSIs as well as costs and investments, benefits and perceived value, challenges and risks, drivers and success factors to establish and maintain FSIs.
