From 11 to 21 January 2023, in the context of the MyLocalFoodE events, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università Di Bologna organises the exhibition “Proiezioni ORTOgonali - Visioni e suoni di orti bolognesi” (Orthogonal projections - Visions and sounds from Bolognese gardens) at the Bologna Municipality in Bologna, Italy
Stakeholders across the food value chain, public authorities, international and civil society organisations, as well as other citizens and the interested public are invited to join the annual EU Farm to Fork Conference and contribute to the implementation of the Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food system. More information about the conference will be available soon.
The agri-food system is responsible for 21-37% of global GHG global emissions as well as being a major driver of land degradation, unprecedented biodiversity loss, and water, air, and soil pollution due to the massive use of synthetic fertilizers. The food-climate nexus is evident: in order to tackle the climate emergency, we must urgently transform the dominant way we produce, transport, eat and dispose of food worldwide. In this dynamic, cities are crucial actors as they are major drivers for cultural, social and economic changes and they can design and implement policies quickly affecting millions of people worldwide. The city of Rio de Janeiro has been selected by the MUFPP Steering Committee to host the 8th MUFPP Global Forum that will take place in 2022. The theme of the event will be “From Agenda 21 to Rio+30 Cities: Food Systems at the core of the Sustainable Development Agenda”. The Forum will be an excellent opportunity to (re)connect, exchange experiences, challenges, knowledge, and best practices, to inspire and get inspired with the shared goal of fixing our urban food systems while addressing the climate emergency.
