🌱 Are you concerned about #climatechange and #foodsystems? Would you like to be part of re-thinking how to organize ourselves around these issues? Then this Challenge Lab is for you! 🏆 Welcome all to the very first Challenge Lab run by Si. This one will be focused on the wicked challenge of how might we develop place-based climate-resilient food systems. The lab runs over five weeks and allows a cohort of participants to apply systems innovation ideas and methods around this challenge. 🧪 Labs are safe-to-fail environments for exploration. The aim is to maximize learning through constant iteration. The lab process is based on the same method we use to structure all our content at Si. This consists of four main stages, from thinking in systems to mapping and transition design to finally working to build a platform/ecosystem for change. 📅 The lab will run over five weeks starting from May 16th. Following this we will meet weekly at the same time and day, Wednesday at 6 pm CET. 👤 This hub is run in collaboration with the Si Food Hub (Sara Featherston), Si London Hub (Kerstin Marx) and Si Climate Lab (Sanjay Rajan & Tricia O'Keefe) and is supported by a team of lab coaches who will support and advise the participants in their journey. 👉 Registrations Now Open → https://lnkd.in/ebrj-GwC

A really exciting and significant investment into furthering research and innovation at the intersection of land management, biodiversity, climate change, sustainable water supply and food security. These topics underpin our planetary and human health and are becoming increasingly important to consider as we adapt to changing climate conditions. Looking forward to following the progress and seeing what comes out of these joint efforts. #UKRI #researchandinnovation
Today, joint funding of £60 million has been announced which will foster closer collaboration among academics, industry professionals, and policymakers across Ireland, Great Britain and Northern Ireland in addressing food sustainability and tackling climate change. Two Co-Centres will be established: ▶ The Co-Centre for Climate + Biodiversity and Water will research solutions at individual to systemic levels and provide evidence-based tools to create positive change, working with industry partners to develop the innovations needed to thrive in a climate, nature, and water-positive world ▶ The Co-Centre for Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems will conduct translational research spanning food production to public health. It will develop innovative and transformative solutions to transition our food systems to ensure safe nutritious food for all while focusing on transition to climate-neutrality by 2050. UKRI CEO Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser said: “These new virtual research centres capture transformative opportunities for collaboration between academia, industry and policy-makers across Ireland, Great Britain and Northern Ireland. "The investment announced today will engage the public, businesses and governments to address complex societal challenges, from sustainable food supply to climate change. Crucially, they will harness the power of research and innovation partnerships to ensure a coordinated and agile approach to addressing our shared challenges.” The co-centres programme is funded by Science Foundation Ireland, Northern Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, and UKRI through the International Science Partnerships Fund, and co-funded by industry. Both co-centres will formally commence activities on 1 January 2024, and will be funded to 2030.

It's a great pleasure to be part of the editorial team for the 'Community-Based Circular Food Systems' special issue at JAFSCD, alongside Anna Davies, Ñawi K. Flores, Michael Kotutwa Johnson, PhD, MPP, @Jacob Park, and Sarah Rocker. The Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development invites manuscripts aligning with common components of Community-Based Circular Food Systems. We're looking for contributions that: 🔵 Have a clearly defined geographic, demographic, or cultural focus. 🔵 Eliminate silos and functions by fostering a network of diverse stakeholders and co-creating applied research and practice. 🔵 Embrace diversity and bridge cultural divides. 🔵 Involve grassroots and community groups and nonprofit organizations. 🔵 Emphasize sustainable food production, sustainable food processing and distribution, and sustainable food consumption and waste utilization. 🔵 Uplift non-industrial farmers and laborers across the value chain and address the mental health and well-being of these critical stakeholders. 🔵 Integrate Indigenous People and Local Community (IPLC)/Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) knowledge systems through ethical practices (e.g., research governances, data sovereignty). 🔵 Encompass social and economic objectives along with environmental objectives. 🔵 Embrace non-economic transactions, including sharing, reciprocity, and charity, that elevate the dignity of recipients. 🔵 Consider preproduction impacts (such as resource extraction or equipment manufacturing). 🔵 Have established evidence-informed objectives. 🔵 Thwart greenwashing and virtue signaling. 🔵 Incentivize circularity through public policy and through public and private philanthropy. 🔵 Emphasize regionality by bridging urban and rural community interests. 🔵 Engage youth, as they will be impacted by whatever actions we take now. Queries about manuscripts can be submitted using the form at https://lnkd.in/dQDRDTxP Presubmission review deadline: May 1, 2024 Big thanks to Amy Christian and Duncan Hilchey for the invitation.
JAFSCD announces a call for papers on Community-Based Circular Food Systems — local and regional food systems that emphasize a community’s health and well-being while minimizing waste and protecting shared natural resources. How can changes in food production and consumption toward circularity save natural resources without compromising the nutrient needs of regional populations? The editorial team welcomes manuscripts from original applied research, literature reviews, historical analyses, projections, public policy analyses, case studies, feasibility studies, reflective essays, life-cycle analyses, and other works that reveal the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to current and emerging C-B CFS models. JAFSCD is open access! Lots more detail and a PDF to post or share at https://lnkd.in/ea7W7hxk

Today we hosted the Virtual Conference “EU agrifood policy - Navigating the next mandate”. Thank you to all who joined us, and to our panellists. Here are the key takeaways from our speakers: 🔸 Gijs Schilthuis from the European Commission: "Agriculture and food policies have become polarising topics in political and societal debates. It is possible to combine agriculture and protection of natural resources. We must work together and strengthen the dialogue between all parties and stakeholders now and for the future policy." 🔸 Stoyan Tchoukanov from the European Economic and Social Committee: "The fair distribution and the fair share of the profit needs to go to the farmers. That’s the key, because otherwise there will be no way to invest." 🔸 Faustine Bas-Defossez from European Environmental Bureau (EEB): "It's a myth that we must choose between protecting farmers or the environment. We must do both. Ecosystem collapse and climate change are the main threats to future food security and farmer livelihoods. To ensure the long-term viability of EU agriculture strong environmental laws are essential to support farmers in socially and environmentally just agri-food transition." 🔸 Harriet Bradley from Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP): "Adopting sustainable, regenerative agriculture systems is shown to help farmers’ resilience to climate change and support food security. But upfront costs and lack of knowledge are significant barriers to changing farming systems. EU policies and especially the CAP therefore need to put much more focus on alleviating these barriers and ultimately providing support for provision of public goods." 🔸 Emma Calvert from BEUC - The European Consumer Organisation: "The science hasn’t changed since 2019. We, as consumers, citizens and farmers, need this just transition as much as ever for our environment, for our biodiversity and for food security." 🔸 Angelo Di Mambro from Euractiv: "The next cycle will be an interesting converging period. All these different demands of sustainability, the CAP, the budget, Ukraine, must be unified." 👉 Watch the recording here: https://eurac.tv/9X1_
