Time: Thursday 26 August 2021 at 13-15.30pm

Location: Online via Zoom

The plant-based food systems of the future are the key to an agriculture in balance with climate and environment. At the same time, it can create jobs, development and economic growth for farmers and other food producers. A new Nordic partnership consisting of the Green Transition Denmark, Swedish AirClim and Finnish Natur och Miljö focuses on sustainable food production.

They do so with a new report and 40 concrete recommendations to promote sustainable development towards a climate-friendly and more plant-based agriculture. The recommendations and concrete cases will be presented at the seminar and followed by debate.

There will be an opportunity to play questions to the presenters along the way.

The seminar is held at english.
