Ghost Kitchens
Description of the innovative solution
In urban settings, people are particularly lacking time and are surrounded by unhealthy options. Finding a way to feed people healthily in a city could have huge public health implications. This innovation involves the mass production of healthy, affordable meals which would be distributed to individuals, freeing people up to spend more time with family or working. The mass provision of nutritious food would remove the burden of healthy eating from an individual and place it with centralized large kitchens known as "Ghost Kitchens."

Pathways to uptake
Engage with our “backcasting tool” to imagine and design “pathways to uptake” for this solution in your setting.
This process involves defining a future vision of this solution being used in your context, and then working “backwards” to identify necessary steps to achieve this vision by 2030. Going through this exercise as an individual or with a team can help to clarify the WHAT/WHEN/HOW of moving a solution (or package of solutions) towards having major impact. We hope these pathways will inspire outside-of-the-box thinking, creative approaches, and actionable concrete steps to move ideas into action.
