Working group Alliance for Future-proof Food Systems

The Alliance for Future-proof Food Systems is a new coalition that aims to connect a number of food transition-focused networks and develop them into a transition community with scientists (both academic and practical researchers), civil society organisations and practical parties.

Building on the experiences, knowledge and networks of a number of organisations, this Alliance aims to function as a broadly accessible knowledge coalition that works on complex food transition issues and the necessary institutional changes from a transdisciplinary systems approach, with the underlying mission of accelerating the agricultural and food transition. This involves working on action perspectives, collaboration and knowledge sharing at both the policy level and in practice. To this end, the Alliance uses the transition workshop method developed by DRIFT.

With the support of the KIN, the Alliance aims to further develop itself and connect with existing and new partnerships in food transitions. This will create a knowledge coalition that lays the foundation for a future food system.
