The event is supported by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science.
The pivotal role of cities in shaping sustainable food systems will be explored, along with the impact that every meal served has on the well-being, education, and future of our children.
As Copenhagen leads the charge in public procurement for school meals, the city will share insights, spark dialogue, and pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable future.
From delving into the complex network of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to exploring how cities navigate governmental regulations, the conference will uncover the methods and strategies for crafting healthier, more sustainable meals for everyone. Via a series of technical workshops, extensive research of food policy studies, debates and field visits, the conference will take a deep dive into the world of sustainable meals programmes, unveiling how this service serves as a catalyst for change. From nourishing young minds with nutritious meals to fostering a culture of sustainability and community, discover how school meals are reshaping the future of food, one bite at a time.
The event isn't just about inspiring change—it's about empowering action. Politicians, food policy makers and officers will gain invaluable skills and tools to drive meaningful progress in their communities, build bridges, foster collaboration, and amplify the impact on a global scale.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to feast your senses on the possibilities of a brighter, more sustainable future. Together, let's redefine the way we think about food, one delicious meal at a time. See you at the conference!
