FUTURE FOOD SYSTEM SUMMITS

In our Future Food Systems Summits, held in Mexico and India, we brought together a diverse group of food system experts and change-makers. This summit provided a unique platform for networking, identifying common goals, and developing actionable plans for a brighter future.

The journey continues

Stay Connected with Bright Spots Project

As we move forward with the Bright Spots project, our next step is to identify indicators that will help us track our progress toward our shared vision for a better food system. By mapping these indicators, we aim to uncover “bright spots”—positive examples of sustainable agriculture and food systems in Mexico and India. These bright spots are not just solutions; they can be sources of inspiration and practical knowledge that can help us improve our food systems.

We invite you to stay connected with the Bright Spots project as we collectively seek solutions to food system sustainability challenges. By working together, we can gain a deeper understanding, learn from these positive examples, and work to share this valuable knowledge in ways that are meaningful to you.

Your ongoing engagement is vital as we build on the momentum generated during the Summits. Thank you for being an essential part of our journey toward a resilient and sustainable food future!

Stay tuned for future updates, and follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn.

We care about people, nature, and food

We are a group of optimists (and scientists) at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, who look for and amplify the beauty in the world. We deeply care about people, nature, and food, of course!

We aim to do transformative research, by working across disciplines, leveraging our values, and collaborating within and outside of academia.

We are collaborative researchers

We are collaborating with other scientists in Mexico, India, Switzerland, and Germany. Now we want to collaborate with you!

We do research to understand the systems around us and work with others to shift them toward equity and sustainability.
