| Future society has to feed nine billion people, therefore agriculture and food, waste and resource management have to go hand in hand toward the use of less resources and acceptance of the limits of Planetary Boundaries. The focus of the seminar will be: (1) Research in agroecological systems. Can we transform the impact of agricultural in Switzerland and beyond? (2) Food system transformation. How can local sustainable food systems be built and scaled through policy strategies, food environments and consumer habits? The seminar will have (a) two face-to-face sessions, (b) self-organized group work with case studies that will be analyized and results be presented, (c) participants will publish a report of their findings in the ETHZ-PSC Science and Policy Blog. For more details, please read the abstract. | |
