From foraging and urban gardening projects to collective cooking and dining initiatives to anti-capitalist ecological supermarket collectives, Berlin — particularly Neukölln — is home to a number of promising alternative food initiatives (AFIs). These initiatives are working towards a socio-ecological transformation of the dominant food system from different standpoints. However, little is known about how the various stakeholders involved in transforming the food system collaborate and share resources, skills and knowledge within a specific local context. It was this research gap that inspired the X-Student Research Group “Mapping Food Movements in Berlin” to map alternative food initiatives in Neukölln. To conduct this mapping, the project applied an actor-network analysis, selecting six central initiatives (Spore, Laib und Seele, Silent Rixdorf, Ernährungsrat, Torhauskollektiv and Robinhood) to represent the nodes of the AFI network. The group then collected empirical data using various qualitative methods, such as semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, resulting in a multifaceted archive. Subsequently, the group coded the different materials thematically in MAXQDA. The findings show that, while some initiatives collaborate, many are more closely linked and share resources at Berlin and federal levels rather than in Neukölln. This leaves potential for collaboration at neighborhood level. Secondly, the majority of the six case studies address more than one stage of the food system, with food distribution and food waste being the most frequently referred to. Thirdly, the resources that are most frequently shared within the network are skills, materials, and contacts. Fewer resources regarding infrastructure and labor were shared by initiatives, which indicates potential for further collaboration but also highlights systemic challenges, such as the common struggle of alternative food initiatives to secure stable financial structures and rely on volunteers. Finally, the key findings were visualized in a map designed collectively with a professional designer. This map only represents a snapshot in time. Rather than providing a complete overview, it aims to serve as a source for future research in other Berlin neighborhoods and beyond, as well as providing the initiatives with a visual tool to understand each other's positions and potential alliances within the AFI network involved in local food system transformation.
