Food for Tomorrow

The goal of the Food for Tomorrow project is to address the challenges of sustainable nutrition and raise awareness of its impact on the environment and society.

Together with our colleagues from Radio Študent, MMC RTV, and the Kersnikova Institute, we will create a series of media publications and events during the project with the aim of raising awareness (especially among young people) about the issue of sustainable food.

Bon appétit!

Research has shown that young people are interested in sustainable eating, but they mostly obtain information from their peers and from documentary films. Changes in eating habits take effect when they move away from their parents, but information about environmental impacts is rather limited. There is also a clear lack of awareness of the social impacts of food, particularly in supply chains that extend beyond the EU, but also on large farms within the EU. Although we are seeing a trend towards reduced meat consumption, in Slovenia we still eat an average of 1.71 kg of meat per week, which is more than three times the health recommendations. The Strategic Council for Nutrition emphasizes the need to reduce meat consumption for more environmentally friendly behavior.

We will reach students, local communities, and the general public through cooperation with partners. We will hold 14 local events with the Kersnikova Institute, prepare 18 radio programs on Radio Študent, manage the IG and FB profile Futr za Jutr, and prepare 10 contributions in the Green Fridays online section in cooperation with RTV Slovenia, the national news portal.

In cooperation with participants and followers, we will create an environmentally and socially friendly guide to sustainable food, with tips for promoting change, examples of good practices in community-based sustainable food production and consumption, and proposals for systemic change.
