„Food Systems Transformation: Individual Imaginaries & Political Strategies"

Lecturers: Christina Plank, Anna-Maria Brunner, Michaela Pixová

As part of the scientific project www.foodalternatives.at , we are dealing with various socio-ecological conflicts that we are experiencing today in the current food system. In the lecture, we will present selected conflicts and, using different perspectives on the transformation of the food system, show the possibilities for how they can be resolved. We will talk about examples, such as agroecological initiatives in Argentina or urban food initiatives in Czechia, and we will show how these initiatives are integrated into the current political-economic food regime. We will also address the challenges we face in implementing the European Green Deal in the agri-food system in Austria.
