Foodlinks - Knowledge brokerage to promote sustainable food consumption and production: linking scientists, policymakers and civil society organisations
- The Foodlinks partners at the 3rd project meeting in Pisa, Italy, in February 2012.
The Foodlinks project aims at developing and experimenting with new ways of linking research to policy-making in the field of sustainable food consumption and production. The project partners will leverage new technologies such as social media to balance the constraints imposed by geographic, cultural and hierarchical barriers.
Foodlinks is a collaborative project funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission with the purpose of evaluating knowledge brokerage activities to promote sustainable food consumption and production: linking scientists, policymakers and civil society organizations.
The project is being carried out by a consortium of 14 partners (universities, regional and local governments and civil society organizations) from 9 European countries.
