The Green Transition - Contributions from Sociology of Food

Public seminar and following reception

Registration is closed.
It is possible to attend online. Please write to elsebeth@ifro.ku.dk to receive Zoom link.

SEMINAR

The Green Transition calls for new patterns of food production and consumption.

To help inform this vast transformation research from a wide array of sciences must be mobilized. In this seminar we set out an agenda for how sociology of food can contribute to the green transition. Theoretical reflections and empirical examples will be presented.

RECEPTION

The seminar is held shortly before Professor Lotte Holm (IFRO) turns 70 and will therefore be followed by a reception in honour of Lotte.

NB: The reception is held at Rolighedsvej 23 in the Back building, ground floor.
