Workshop: “Food Systems Visualisation”

 

Friday 18th June 2021 from 13:30 – 14:20

The Sustainable Food Practices Team ran a workshop and talk as part of Ernährung & Demokratie. The talk showed how visual tools like infographics are useful for depicting the complexity of food systems while taking into account involved actors’ practices and dynamics. Such infographics can contribute to increase and improve the capacity to grasp and work with diversity, inequity and multiperspectivity typical of food systems.

‘Ernährung & Demokratie’ (Food and Sustainability) was an event on the topic of participatory urban food systems development and building resilient city regions.

“The event is explicitly aimed at representatives from local politics, from district, city and county councils, as well as local administrators. Unlike at the state level, there are no explicit thematic departments for food at the municipal level, so we are inviting all those whose work touches on the cross-cutting issue of food, agriculture and nutrition. For example, representatives from school and youth welfare offices, parks & recreation, urban planning, and land departments, environmental services, health services, but also from the areas of mobility and economic development are all cordially invited to join the conversation with colleagues, scientists and professionals from the field of sustainable food systems.” (Event Programme)
