| Inhalt | Future society has to feed nine billion people, therefore agriculture, food, waste and resource management have to go hand in hand toward the use of fewer resources and acceptance of the Planetary Boundaries. We will discuss current research in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The focus of the seminar will be on: (1) Research in agroecological systems. Can we transform the impact of agricultural in Switzerland and beyond? (2) Food system transformation. How can local sustainable food systems be built and scaled through policy strategies, food environments and consumer habits? The seminar will have (a) two face-to-face sessions, (b) self‐organized group work with case studies that will be analyized and results be presented, (c) participants will publish a report of their findings in the ETHZ-PSC Science and Policy Blog. Case studies (CS) will include: • CS 1: How can Swiss farmers move to zero environmental impact? • CS 2: What influence do the consumers in developed (importing) countries have on sustainability of (mainly) small-holder farming in the developing (sourcing) countries? • CS 3: Sensor based fertilization techniques at the filed for sustainability? • CS 4: The blessing and curse of nitrogen – transferring knowledge from Science to Society to create more awareness • CS 5: The transformation of the (urban) food systems and changing consumer food habits. |
| Lernziele | Participants will be able to: (1) Review sustainability issues in the context of plant science research and literature on sustainable agriculture and the food system. (2) Analyze and interact on several case studies on agro-ecology and the food system. |
