Let's talk food.
Cities are more attractive than ever before: To remain liveable as a city, long-term alternatives to conventional food production are needed. This has also become apparent during the covid pandemic. Therefore, the focus in 2020/2021 will be on innovative food projects in the fields of production, packaging, logistics, recycling and innovative gastronomy.
