Impact of restrictions – change of plans

Due to a range of travel restrictions, we are postponing our planned kick-off on 2-3 September at Mjölby Stadshotell and the study trip to the World Food Center in the Netherlands on 27-29 October, so that as many people as possible can take part. We are instead proposing the following dates for you to put in your diary:

Over the autumn, we will be focusing on getting the working groups to set out in more detail the ideas that we want to implement at the Food Experience Centre. The themed working groups will have three meetings each, aimed at drawing up 2-3 embryonic ideas that we would like making a reality. We have the following working groups:

• Food in circular flows
• Logistics and infrastructure
• Innovative and exciting technology
• Food associated with exercise and health
• The food and farming of tomorrow
• Väderstad as a destination

This autumn, we will begin to look at how to fund the work that needs to be done once this project has been completed.
