Be inspired by the brightest minds

The food system is navigating a new risk landscape, where one crisis often follows the next. We see a world situation with uncertainty in many places, floods, drought, energy crisis, and food and water scarcity. How can we adapt to these risks, increase preparedness, and make our food system more resilient? As essential as food is for human survival and well-being, it also poses significant challenges for the environment and society. But in the food system, we also find the solutions to many challenges. Join us in exploring how we can feed a growing population without compromising the health of the planet and its people while fostering innovation that is inclusive, equitable, competitive, and sustainable.

That's what Spot on Food is all about! 

The venue

The conference Spot on Food will take place at Kulturkvarteret on October 3rd. For those joining The Food Hack on 1-3 October to be hackers, the venue is at Krinova Incubator & Science Park.
