Food Day @ETH 2022
World Food System Center Research Symposium 2022
Food Day @ETH 2022 brought together a diverse audience from academia, industry, government and international organizations for interactive discussions and workshops on food systems innovation and research.
During the plenary session, we took the opportunity to look back on more than 10 years of food system research, education, and dialogue facilitated by the World Food System Center. At the same time, we discussed challenges and opportunities that are still ahead of us to transform global food systems to become economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
Food Day @ETH kicked off with workshops in the afternoon, focusing on scientific topics as well as the role of education and communication in building future food systems. At the plenary session, we heard from experts on what is needed to build food systems that are resilient and sustainable. The networking poster session highlighted ongoing research and Center activities offered the 200 participants the chance to interact together.
