This paper connects the double urban trend of food governance and experimentalism by reflecting on the potentials and limits of Urban Living Labs in facilitating hybrid and, particularly, bottom-linked modes of urban food governance. Bottom-linked governance is examined in the FUSILLI Living Lab, aiming to foster governance transformations in the context of Turin.

Keywords: FUSILLI; governance arrangement; hybrid-bottom-linked governance; urban experimentation; urban food systems.
