At Healthy Food Healthy Planet, we know that transforming Europe’s food system takes more than shifting policies or changing what's on our plates. It also takes creativity – the kind that sparks new connections, honours lived experience, and makes better futures a reality.
That’s why we’re proud to support five organisations through the Creativity Pioneers Fund 2024, in partnership with the Moleskine Foundation. Each is using creative practice to bring people together, make sense of complex challenges, and reimagine how we relate to our landscapes – to land, food, and one another.
These groups aren’t waiting for permission to lead. They’re already doing the work –deep in local communities, often overlooked.
Aterraterra (Italy)
At the foot of the Apennines in central Italy, Aterraterra brings artists, farmers, and activists together to co-create solutions to the climate crisis. Their seed libraries, residencies, performances and workshops act as bridges, connecting ancestral agricultural knowledge with contemporary artistic practice.
By uniting creativity with rural practices, they invite communities to share knowledge, grow resilience, and imagine sustainable ways of living beyond extractive systems. Their work is rooted, relational, and radically hopeful.
Locals Approach (Portugal)
Locals Approach started with a group of architecture students who wanted to do more than design buildings. They wanted to help reimagine how communities shape the places they live in.
Now a growing collective, Locals Approach bridges local wisdom and scientific research to activate civic participation, using creative tools to listen, collaborate, and build shared visions for change. They show that transformation doesn’t have to be top-down – it can begin around a table, on a walk, or in a public square.
Tracanelupa (Italy)
In the rural outskirts of Bari, Tracanelupa supports people facing social, economic, educational, and cultural exclusion. From community kitchens to creative workshops, they build on the principles of interdependence and self-determination.
Their work challenges dominant ideas of progress and development, instead celebrating the countryside as a place of cultural richness, shared struggle, and possibility. In doing so, they’re nurturing a different kind of future – one led by care, creativity, and community.
Inland (Spain)
Part think tank, part collective, part rural revival movement – Inland isn’t pinned down to one design. Since 2009, they’ve been working at the intersection of culture, ecology, and rural life, calling attention to the overlooked and the undervalued.
Through training programmes, international collaborations, and policy influence, Inland works to reclaim the rural as a site of knowledge, dignity, and innovation. Their “art-agriculture-territory” manifesto is both a provocation and a pathway— asking us to reimagine what land, food, and belonging can mean.
ComunitățiActive pentru Democrație Participativă (Chișinău, Moldova)
From pop-up gardens to people’s assemblies, this Moldovan association creates practical ways for citizens to shape their cities and hold decision-makers accountable. Their tools – tactical urbanism, community organising, participatory planning – are all in service of a deeper goal: a more equitable, inclusive and solidaristic society.
By bringing neighbours together around shared action, they help communities reclaim power, cultivate resilience, and design urban spaces that reflect their hopes, not just institutional plans.
What creativity makes possible
Each of these groups reminds us that creativity isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s a force for connection, questioning, and transformation. Whether it’s through art, architecture, agriculture, or activism, they’re creating new ways for communities to come together, hold complexity, and take action.
At HFHP, we don’t pretend to have all the answers. We’re here to learn alongside our partners, support what’s already working, and help shift the systems that shape how we grow, access, and experience food.
Creativity won’t fix everything – but it opens up new ways of seeing, and sometimes, that’s where change begins.

At the foot of the Apennines in central Italy, Aterraterra brings artists, farmers, and activists together to co-create solutions to the climate crisis. Their seed libraries, residencies, performances and workshops act as bridges, connecting ancestral agricultural knowledge with contemporary artistic practice.
By uniting creativity with rural practices, they invite communities to share knowledge, grow resilience, and imagine sustainable ways of living beyond extractive systems. Their work is rooted, relational, and radically hopeful.
Locals Approach (Portugal)
Locals Approach started with a group of architecture students who wanted to do more than design buildings. They wanted to help reimagine how communities shape the places they live in.
Now a growing collective, Locals Approach bridges local wisdom and scientific research to activate civic participation, using creative tools to listen, collaborate, and build shared visions for change. They show that transformation doesn’t have to be top-down – it can begin around a table, on a walk, or in a public square.
Tracanelupa (Italy)
In the rural outskirts of Bari, Tracanelupa supports people facing social, economic, educational, and cultural exclusion. From community kitchens to creative workshops, they build on the principles of interdependence and self-determination.
Their work challenges dominant ideas of progress and development, instead celebrating the countryside as a place of cultural richness, shared struggle, and possibility. In doing so, they’re nurturing a different kind of future – one led by care, creativity, and community.
Inland (Spain)
Part think tank, part collective, part rural revival movement – Inland isn’t pinned down to one design. Since 2009, they’ve been working at the intersection of culture, ecology, and rural life, calling attention to the overlooked and the undervalued.
Through training programmes, international collaborations, and policy influence, Inland works to reclaim the rural as a site of knowledge, dignity, and innovation. Their “art-agriculture-territory” manifesto is both a provocation and a pathway— asking us to reimagine what land, food, and belonging can mean.
ComunitățiActive pentru Democrație Participativă (Chișinău, Moldova)
From pop-up gardens to people’s assemblies, this Moldovan association creates practical ways for citizens to shape their cities and hold decision-makers accountable. Their tools – tactical urbanism, community organising, participatory planning – are all in service of a deeper goal: a more equitable, inclusive and solidaristic society.
By bringing neighbours together around shared action, they help communities reclaim power, cultivate resilience, and design urban spaces that reflect their hopes, not just institutional plans.
What creativity makes possible
Each of these groups reminds us that creativity isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s a force for connection, questioning, and transformation. Whether it’s through art, architecture, agriculture, or activism, they’re creating new ways for communities to come together, hold complexity, and take action.
At HFHP, we don’t pretend to have all the answers. We’re here to learn alongside our partners, support what’s already working, and help shift the systems that shape how we grow, access, and experience food.
Creativity won’t fix everything – but it opens up new ways of seeing, and sometimes, that’s where change begins.
At Healthy Food Healthy Planet, we know that transforming Europe’s food system takes more than shifting policies or changing what's on our plates. It also takes creativity – the kind that sparks new connections, honours lived experience, and makes better futures a reality.
That’s why we’re proud to support five organisations through the Creativity Pioneers Fund 2024, in partnership with the Moleskine Foundation. Each is using creative practice to bring people together, make sense of complex challenges, and reimagine how we relate to our landscapes – to land, food, and one another.
These groups aren’t waiting for permission to lead. They’re already doing the work –deep in local communities, often overlooked.
