Unfortunately, this idea was not selected

Unfortunately, the idea did not receive enough votes in the poll and will therefore not proceed to the next phase.

However, the project team and the City of Zurich are reviewing all submitted ideas once again to identify potential synergies with other projects. Perhaps your idea could be implemented even without additional support? Please consider whether you would like to pursue the idea further.

If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

Full shelves, open doors – solidary food bank for Wiedikon

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
In the middle of the district, a place is being created that belongs to everyone: a solidarity-based food depot. Ecologically and high-quality food from solidarity-based agriculture, for example from the outskirts of the city, supplemented by food donations and collective orders, is stored in a central, easily accessible location and jointly managed by neighbourhood residents. The principle is simple and fair: each person takes what they need and gives what they can – financially and voluntarily. The depot is deliberately accessible without a membership card, registration form or other hurdles. It is not intended to be an exclusive club, but an open meeting place: for families, single people, people with little money, newcomers and all those who want to consume in an ecologically sensible way. In addition, the depot could be connected to a library of things: objects that are rarely used – garden tools, sewing machines, tools – can be borrowed instead of bought. This is not only easy on the wallet, but also saves resources, actively reduces CO₂ emissions and makes a climate-friendly lifestyle accessible to everyone: through less food waste, less new production and low access hurdles. Sharing together, wasting less together – this is our contribution to a fairer and more climate-friendly city.
