Our Food Tech 3.0 journey followed the milestones laid out by the FoodSHIFT2030 project, namely four phases dedicated to *identifying, maturing, combining* & *upscaling* existing local food technology innovations. <mark style="background-color:green;">(Don't forget to check the</mark> [context-foodshift2030](https://books.fablabbcn.org/foodtech3.0/food-tech-3.0-aceleration-program/context-foodshift2030 "mention") <mark style="background-color:green;">section to better understand the terminology and processes of the FoodSHIFT2030 project.)</mark>

While the 9 FoodSHIFT2030 Accelerator Labs followed these phases, each Lab adapted the phase to their local context. For example, in order to mature the societal and technological readiness levels of the initatives participating in the program, from Fab Lab Barcelona we developed an acceleration for Food Tech 3.0.&#x20;

In this section, discover the journey that was implemented in Barcelona, to dive in the topic of Food-Tech, step by step. &#x20;

**These sections are ideal for Fab Lab and makerspace managers that want to understand how they can get into the world of food. It can also be used by Fab Cities that are contemplating running programs to incubate food technology.**
