The Future of Food: Changing Society without Seizing Power
In this lecture, we will discuss the question of why we have not yet succeeded in reforming the mainstream food system, in order to make it more sustainable and more resilient. Is it because those in power have been unwilling to address the problems caused by the existing system? Or is it because our governance tools are inadequate? Which other pathways for change could be explored, when few hopes can be placed in change coming from above? Can social innovation and alternative food networks have systemic and longterm impacts? Join this lecture to find the answers.
