In fall 2023, the Center contributed to several public dialogue events. At Scientifica, the public science event of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, researchers were on hand to talk to visitors about about innovations for sustainable food systems.
At the OLMA Swiss Fair for Agriculture and Nutrition, research from several WFSC member groups was on display at both the ETH Zurich 'Where the Future Begins – Research for Sustainable Agriculture' exhibit and Kanton of Zurich 'Family Garden' exhibit. By playing Agricultural Policy Jenga or taking a look at the glowing microalgae reactor, visitors could learn more about innovations being used in the fields and new foods for our plates.
Federal Councilor Karin Keller-Sutter, while visiting the ETH exhibit, commented, “Research and innovation play an important role in future agriculture. ETH Zurich is making an important contribution in this respect.”
