Speaker: Professor Roberta Sonnino, University of Surrey
How to grapple with the complexity of 'food system transformation' without being analytically overwhelmed by it? This presentation will address this question through a focus on 'place' as an exploratory prism that enables researchers to disrupt oppositional narratives and dichotomies and engage with the diverse forms of power that hinder (or facilitate) change. Based on insights from the EU-funded project FoodCLIC (2022-2027), the presentation will argue that a place-based approach is vital to turn 'food system transformation' into a socially meaningful and politically relevant project.
Can attend online or in-person.
