Knowledge brokerage to promote sustainable food consumption and production: linking scientists, policymakers and civil society organisations (FOODLINKS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The policy issue central to this project is food as many of today’s sustainability problems (e.g. water shortage, GHG emissions, pollution of soil and water, decrease of biodiversity, urban waste) are related to the prevailing pattern of food production and consumption (including processing and distribution). Hence, developing more sustainable food production and consumption patterns will have a s ...
