A cross-disciplinary perspective to promote a sustainable food system: the contribution of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs)
12th February 2021
Food security and availability of food for all is essential to humanity. The current status and the foreseen future scenarios highlight the need to develop new interactions with non-food or food-related sectors to develop a long-term and impact-driven strategy. In recent times the collaboration of food industry, education and research with other sectors like agriculture, nutrition, has grown but other sectors are required to develop an integrative approach to feed a growing population. In this webinar the strategies and actions of food and food-related Knowledge Innovation Communities to boost the sustainability and innovation of food systems will be presented.
