Towards a more resilient food system

    Let's take a closer look at how the food system and the circular economy have evolved and gained momentum during the pandemicAt this event the focus will be set on challenges and opportunities within the food system. By addressing the experience and opinions of our speakers, we want to see how the discourse around the food system in the EU and Switzerland is being shaped. We also focus on exploring what is needed to meet the challenges that come with the food system transformation and what solutions or ideas are provided by different actors and institutions in Europe. This will lead us to having a closer look at how themes relating to the food system and the circular economy have evolved/co-evolved and gained momentum amongst EU and also Swiss citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a huge economical crisis to the world economic system, exposing the fragility of a global agrifood system. During the panel discussion we want to investigate what are the issues that came with this fragility and how we can make a transition towards more resilient food systems. Come join us, be inspired and connect with interesting people. The event will be held in English and participation is on a donation basis.
