Creating a Sustainable Food Future: Utopia or Reality?

Creating a Sustainable Food Future: Utopia or Reality?

"The world urgently needs to improve the way it produces and consumes food. In the coming decades, agriculture – which employs two billion people today – must provide enough food for a growing population and be an engine of inclusive economic and social development. However, the environmental impacts of agriculture are large and growing, creating risks for future food production."

Andrew Steer, President, World Resources Institute

Crop growing, food production, consumption, waste, distribution & sharing, community based agriculture and more… What are the options and solutions and what is the real impact? What does the science say?

Who is it for and what is in it for you

We bring together the GreenBuzz and the Impact Hub communities for a casual apéro to share inspiration, new ideas and experiences in a vibrant space of the Impact Hub at Viadukt.

Join us for an evening of discussions and finding new and more sustainable ways we could and should produce, eat and treat our food.
Invite your colleagues and friends from outside of the sustainability bubble and departments. They too can be sustainability champions!
