Take-away messages from the 2019 EAT Stockholm Food Forum
As we wrap things up in Stockholm from the EAT Food Forum, we reflect on what we learned and what we thought was missing from the forum. Our main take home message is that we must continue to work hard, think bigger and bolder, to continue on our mission to cultivate change in our food system. Are you with us?
Regenerative agriculture and agroecology for breakfast
We are at the EAT Stockholm Food Forum 2019. Over 1000 delegates from around the world converge in Stockholm to act as change agents to transform the food system. From government ministers, to companies, chefs, NGOs, farmers, and city governments, there is a mix of health and sustainability tackling how food can fix our environmental and social issues. Day one began and ended with strong statements from one of the world’s biggest food companies talking to the heart of food systems change about regenerative agriculture and farming. At Spira we work on regenerative agriculture in New Zealand, so this was a key topic for us as we transform the food system.
