Discussion
Includes live question and answer session with people in the community & online.
Hyperlocality as part of “trendy sustainability”?
Why hyperlocal in Covid-times?
What and where do we talk about a Covid-19 related disruption (supply chains? panic buying? What about the retailers?)
What about “food security”?
Why are people more “sustainable” in Covid-/Post-Covid-times? Are they?
What are “hyperlocal communication strategies”?
How much is/can this be translated into an online world? (adaption strategies?)
What skills are needed in local food hubs?
Is there something like “public pedagogy” or: What skills can be learned in local food systems/community projects etc.?
What are strategies to engage with local councils/governments?
What about “investment” strategies (what kind of investment are we talking about)?
What about community, cohesion and inclusion – is COVID-19 bringing “values” back?
What about social inclusion and gender issues when we talk about sustainability, food & food supply?
How can academic works be translated into the hyperlocal communities?
The workshop will be recorded and available to delegates.
