Through the lens of food: beautiful, complex and vital urban connections

Among the massive amount of questions and uncertainties this global situation has brought about for all of us, we can experience how it also invites us to think deeper about what keeps our bodies and souls lively and healthy. Moreover, these days have been a call to action, unveiling how intrinsically connected is our individual wellbeing with that of our localities and the planet we inhabit and impact upon, together.

Food centrally expresses what we value the most. It is not only nurturing us and our daily companions, but it is also present in our most loved moments and memories, those feeding our wishes on the times to come and our dreams of a new era.

What can we do to secure lively and healthy ways to access food? Those that we currently see as endangered or about to be lost…

Let’s do our part, let’s choose food with love and spread it in our tables, and the world - why not? 

In this interview, I share some insights on food security and sustainable food systems that can help in reflecting and acting together towards these commitments.
