25-27.01 in Lisbon
Food is a fundamental necessity of life. It is also one of the consumption areas with the
greatest environmental impacts. The debates over sustainable food production and
consumption, both in academia and politics, have spurred over the last decade. Growth
policies in the food and agriculture sector pay attention to increasing productivity and
providing enough food for an increasing population in a globalized world. Nevertheless,
progress has been uneven and growth has been unsustainable in some regions, leading to
escalating pressures on ecosystems.
In the course of the EU project RESPONDER, our partners in Portugal are organizing a high profile workshop on 25-27 January in Lisbon. The RESPONDER
RESPONDER is to promote sustainable consumption by exploring novel ways
of knowledge brokerage that help to improve the management of potential political, social and
economic contradictions with economic growth.
