SCEWC: Food, Sustainability and Governance in the Digital Age

14 November 2018 09:30 - 10:30

  • « Cohesion for Enlargement: Thriving in a stronger union
  • YRN Autumn Plenary 16 – 18 November, Cascais »

As announced at the Vojvodina Committee 1 plenary meeting, AER is organising a side event on Wednesday 14 November on Food, Sustainability and Governance in the Digital Age in the context of the Smart City Expo World Congress.

This event will look at food from different perspectives to support sustainable regional development. The objective is to share experiences, discover stories and to identify fields for action which can start now.

Smart City Expo World Congress will be an ideal place to address the many modern aspects of food and policy making, as these are at the crossroad of innovation, sustainability, wellbeing, health and territorial cohesion.

Registration

Regional stakeholders interested in attending this side event will receive a 3 days pass for the trade fair of Smart City Expo. These passes will provide access to all side events: http://www.smartcityexpo.com/en/visit/passes-and-prices

If you would like to attend, or if your region would be interested in sharing best practices, please contact Johanna Pacevicius

You will then receive a code to register on the Smart City Expo World Congress page.

    Can technology improve rural-urban links and more importantly co-creation for sustainable food production? What is needed to encourage citizens participation for sustainable rural and urban development? In a world which is deemed to further concentrate population in cities, how to ensure fair and sustainable food governance? How to feed cities?

  • Food systems & supply chains: a territorial approach

    Supply chain innovation & sound resource management
    How to innovate supply chains, support short food supply chains and sustainable food systems? How to avoid food waste? How to encourage the production of quality food?
