    • 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?
