Eating is probably the most intimate decision with the greatest overall impact.
What we eat says a lot about the world we do want, but also about the world we do have.
our approach
From a systemic view of food, and with a broad network of partners, we act with an interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach to raise awareness and impact individuals, institutions and decision makers, with two specific and interdependent goals
contents
we produce, adapt and communicate content and research in an interdisciplinary and creative way.
events
we organize and facilitate meetings, events and opportunities for intersectoral debate.
laboratories
we design fertile territories for reflection and proposition promoting the collaborative debate in the search for solutions.
promote behavior change and understanding about food and its impacts;
advocate for public policies centered on the right to adequate food
why a food focused think tank ?
The contemporary food system is both the cause and consequence of today's major challenges. Placing food at the center of the debate in critical, collaborative, creative and communicative ways allows for a current, high-impact look at systemic transformation - what we eat changes the world, and this is our biggest challenge and at the same time our greatest opportunity.
