How will we feed ourselves in the future? What contribution can food make to sustainability and global justice?

This is the main argument of the Project Meeting in Austria, from 1 to 5 September 2023.
The program has different events!

Museum Arbeitswelt Steyr

The exhibition "FUTURE FOOD - Food for the World of Tomorrow" of the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden opens up these urgent questions. In walkthrough visual and knowledge spaces, visitors approach sensual, aesthetic, cultural, scientific, and political positions in dealing with food. In four chapters, the exhibition presents a comprehensive picture of the current system of food production. Only the insight into the complex, qualitative, labour- and resource-intensive processes around food production creates knowledge about our food's actual value.

Conclusions after the meeting

The project meeting strengthened the cooperation between partnership members, allowing them to work face-to-face to round out the learning model by providing a tool (framework) to check acquired competencies. Joint work on the FL4LF Competency Table – Food Literacy Competency Framework for Adults, whereby three partners from different countries tackled the challenges together, enabling mutual learning, knowledge sharing and direct cooperation. By solving common challenges, partners joined forces, generated knowledge and shared ideas and resources, which allowed everyone to learn from others, using methods and solutions developed or applied anywhere in Europe, and achieving synergy allowed us to achieve the set goals
