Circular Case Studies: Food systems transformation through transdisciplinarity and cooperation

This project (under the umbrella of the ADR2 course) is for students with an international development research and SDGs interest in theory and practice. It is also intended for bachelor, master and doctoral students who return from the field and wonder how research findings support SDGs regarding food security, poverty reduction, climate impact and international cooperation. It is aimed at students who desire to cross disciplinary boundaries and makes scientific knowledge available to a broader audience, incl the public. The course integrates research insights with the ongoing SDGs discourse, especially on “what makes your food sustainable”. Seminar units and term activities are geared towards the organisation and implementation of a public event at BOKU (in June) and the possibility of attending an international conference. The (cooking) event at BOKU is for sharing and discussing the latest research findings with a more comprehensive scientific and development-oriented audience, stakeholders, experts and politicians.
