EStà (Economia e Sostenibilità) is a non-profit organisation that promotes innovation in environmental, socio-economic and cultural systems to imagine and create a more sustainable and inclusive society.

EStà was founded in Milan in 2012 by a group of people with different and complementary skills: urban policies, social innovation, journalism, economic research, participatory methods, communication, environmental disciplines. 

In the first years it specialised in the field of sustainable territorial development. Since 2014, EStà has coordinated the research work from which the Milan Food Policy was born and became, in actual fact, the first centre of expertise in Italy on urban food systems.

Today EStà is an organisation that has national, European and international collaborations and is recognised for the quality of its systemic approach, capable of producing integrated analyses and connecting actors acting at different scales to promote sustainability.
