We need collaborative solutions for interconnected challenges in agrifood systems. Neither citizens, farmers, industry, policymakers nor research, innovation and technology can independently solve the many interconnected challenges. The need to create closer collaboration across key stakeholders in the agrifood sector to speed up the green transition is urgent. Without dialogue, knowledge-sharing and understanding between the key stakeholders in the green transition, the transition risks stalling; a development we can no longer afford.
The START Green Minds Gather Conference call is clear: Come together to untangle the knot of interconnected challenges and dilemmas in European agrifood systems.
Green Minds Gather is not your traditional academic conference. It deliberately goes beyond the usual suspects to bring new voices, perspectives, and solutions into the conversation. With its cross-sector platform, it is designed to connect stakeholders and foster dialogue and collaboration across the agrifood ecosystem.
This year, Green Minds Gather Conference joins together to continue reflecting on not only the what ifs, but the how tos, focusing on resilient and sustainable agrifood systems in a competitive Europe.
Join us as we connect research, policy, and industry around the green transition at a two-day conference in Copenhagen. Together, we explore the next steps in greening agrifood systems.
