Generation Z solutions to food systems challenges are urgently needed. And why not start at school? And why not cooperate internationally?

About this event

The need for a rethinking of the food system is more needed than ever. The climate crisis, scarcity of the land, industrialization of agriculture, loss of biodiversity and unsustainable consumption patterns are some of the challenges that society faces. Experts, research and evidence in this field is needed more than ever. But what about young people? We are welcoming a new generation of young people, who want to see climate action. A Generation Z who has increasingly realized that we are dependent on science, research and digital insight. But, that the challenge of experts is that they are most often experts in an “earlier version of society”. The research is by nature retrospective and predominantly works with historical data. It has become most obvious in an area where we all - including young people - can claim to be experts, at least when it comes to suggesting new solutions. It has become clear that young people should have – and want to have - a say when it comes to developing ideas, strategies and solutions to the challenges we face. Science and digital insight at school can be a powerful tool in support of positive change. On the Fridays & Foodtures side event we zoom in on food waste and presents five cases to demonstrate the engagement of young people and showcase their solutions dealing with food systems change.
