Online programme
What does Enabling healthy and sustainable food choices mean in an unequal food system? How can we make the potential of advanced Digitalisation work for entrepreneurial food actors? And how can we realise a breakthrough in achieving a Living income for all?
10.00 We start the day inspiring all the senses. Double bassist James Oesi and storyteller Kwame Kondor will guide us throughout the morning. We will listen to economist and food systems specialist Lawrence Haddad and director of NFP Myrtille Danse who will together highlight everything you need to know about the Food Systems Summit.
10.20 Enabling healthy and sustainable food choices. We are excited to welcome French-Colombian chef Charles Michel to the stage. As a food educator and community catalyst, he will open our eyes to the role food plays in building our future.
11.00 Digitalisation. In an era of countless apps, how can we make digitalisation actually work for real actors within the food system? We will hear from Vivian Awino Opondoh (CEO of the Agritech initiative, Farmula) and other actors who will guide us through several examples of how digitalisation is transforming and advancing the world of agriculture and food systems.
11.30 Achieving a living income for all. How many years have we been speaking about a living income? And yet, inequality persists. We will face this inconvenient truth and search for possibilities with Michel Scholte (Impact Institute / True Price / Minister for New Economy), Marie-Ange Vaessen (Eosta) and other experts.
