With Zurich covered in snow, we offer you a warm, plant-based meal to cook this weekend. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ 🥕 Developed by #TasteLab, this meal uses ingredients that are seasonal and regional in #Switzerland. Simply replace some of the ingredients with what is seasonal and regional for you. The plums from the dessert, for example, can be replaced with any other fruit, from pears to mangos! 🌱 While cooking, viewers learn more about our food system and explore a few of the ingredients. 👩🍳 Watch as Susanne Tobler cooks the meal: https://lnkd.in/d2KpMEjs Full recipes and shopping list: https://lnkd.in/dTw6jvC #foodie #Cookingtogether #carrots #cooktonight #batchcooking #Thanksgiving ETH Zürich #Zürich #winter #schneespass #plantbased #weekendcooking Remo Gisi tastelab zurich Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS), ETH Zürich SSC - Student Sustainability Committee of VSETH VIAL at ETH Zürich #wfsceducation #cookthescience #foodsystems

It is time to talk more about the hidden costs in our food system. 🛒 🏷️ We invite you to our upcoming webinar- 🏷️ Beyond the Price Tag: True Costs in the Food and Agricultural System 11 December 2024 15:00 – 16:30 CET 🍎 The FAO State of Food and Agriculture report proposes first steps in making agrifood systems more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable. Effective true cost labeling must be consistent, actionable, and accessible for informed consumer decisions. The webinar will explore challenges and opportunities in true costs accounting, featuring insights from ongoing initiatives. Joining us to share their insights: 🍏 Andrea Cattaneo, Senior Economist at FAO, will discuss the global scientific discourse on true costs and steps for effective policy implementation. 🍏 Emilia Schmitt and Claire van den Broek will discuss translating accounting methods into actionable policies and practices for sustainable food systems.

Joining a Hand-in-Hand Investment event was the most startling experience at the World Food Forum 2024. At the Investment event, national authorities from lower- to middle-income countries presented investment opportunities to investors and donors. The event's promotion of export-oriented agricultural products was in stark contrast to the main messages of some youth-led events I attended, which described the unsustainability of large-scale export crop production and existing trade patterns. I cannot help but wonder: Will these investors, who currently hold significant power to change our food systems, reinforce unsustainable trends? It is not news that trade can incur direct environmental and social costs. International trade policies need to change for the better. We cannot shy away from this issue. It is important for youth, as future policymakers, to discuss about it. This recent article by Ulrich Hoffmann on integrating the true cost of food in international trade policies might interest you: https://lnkd.in/ednGZXYu Thank you World Food System Center, ETH Zurich for giving us the opportunity to attend the WFF 2024.

It is a crucial time to explore opportunities for integrating young people into larger frameworks for actual change. 🧩 🌍 🧩 🌱 This statement is from the ETH Zürich Youth Delegation to the World Food Forum. At the forum at FAO in #Rome, the group of selected students and researchers from ETH Zürich had the opportunity to interact and exchange with leaders and youth from around the globe. 🇨🇭 They were also able to exchange with other #Swiss delegations, including those from governmental agencies and Berner Fachhochschule BFH. The entire group met with the Swiss Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Rome, Krisztina Bende. 🏷️ Beyond the price tag: Together, these Swiss delegations held a Side Event at the World Food Forum focused on the topic of the true cost of food models. With presentations and working groups, the session motivated participants to add their voices, share their knowledge, and unite in collective action to uncover the hidden health, economic, environmental, and social costs of #agrifood systems. 👏 We at the Center are proud of all of these young students and researchers for sharing their ideas and passion about food systems transformation.

Die Zukunft des Schweizer Obstbaus – Tradition trifft Innovation! Am 30. Oktober 2024 kamen bei unserem Workshop am Food Day des World Food System Center, ETH Zurich rund 30 bis 40 Fachleute aus Wissenschaft, Produktion, Verarbeitung und Handel zusammen, um Perspektiven und Lösungsansätze für einen nachhaltigen Obstanbau in der Schweiz zu diskutieren. 🍏🍎 Der Fokus lag dabei auf der Frage, wie sich die Apfelproduktion nachhaltig gestalten und in Zukunft erhalten lässt! Highlights des Tages: 🔹 Fachvorträge führender Experten Richard Hollenstein, Andreas Naef, Robert Finger und Bruno Studer gaben wertvolle Einblicke in die Herausforderungen durch Klimawandel, Pestizideinsatz und gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen. 🔹 Neue Züchtungsmethoden wurden vorgestellt, die dem Schweizer Obstbau helfen könnten, sich resilienter und umweltfreundlicher aufzustellen – ein spannendes Thema, das bei den Teilnehmenden lebhafte Diskussionen anregte. 🔹 In den interaktiven Gruppendiskussionen wurden die zuvor präsentierten Themen noch vertiefter betrachtet. Die Diskussionen fokussierten sich auf Themen wie die Praxis, die politischen Rahmenbedingungen und die Verantwortung der Privatwirtschaft, die Chancen und Risiken neuer Züchtungsmethoden und die Akzeptanz und das Verhalten der Konsument:innen. Es wurde deutlich, dass das Verständnis und die Akzeptanz neuer Entwicklungen essenziell für den Erfolg einer nachhaltigeren Obstproduktion in der Schweiz sind. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle Teilnehmenden und Referent*innen, die diesen Workshop zu einem so wertvollen Austausch gemacht haben! Mehr Informationen zu dieser Veranstaltung findest du im Beitrag auf der Webseite: https://lnkd.in/dC9PXMyi Gemeinsam gestalten wir die Zukunft des Schweizer Obstbaus. 🍎🌍 #obstbau #nachhaltigkeit #innovation #schweiz #landwirtschaft #eth #networking
