Food Networks at Summer school of World Food System Center/ ETH
Food Networks was invited to be the case-study for this years Summer School of the World Food System Center (WFSC)/ ETH in Rheinau, Switzerland. This is the second consecutive year, first in summer school 2017, that we have been engaged with WFSC. 30 young academic students from around the world went, during three days between 29-31 August 2019, through a design-thinking process to reflect and prototype solutions for the Food Networks in Mértola/ Portugal, Nepal and BachserMärt/Switzerland. We are absolutely impressed about the dedication and the collective spirit of these wonderful young people.
Four questions that the students worked during the summer school are:
