FOSTR (Fostering food system transformation by integrating heterogeneous perspectives in knowledge and innovation within the European Research Area) aims to build a foundation for a new Knowledge and Innovation (K&I) governance structure for Europe’s food system.
The overall objective is to understand how knowledge and innovation systems can be adapted, made more inclusive and better governed to transform Europe’s food system outcomes with benefits for health, enterprise and the environment.
By working together more effectively, universities, research institutions, citizen scientists, and policymakers can create new ways to harness existing knowledge and capacity building, and connect with food systems thinking and citizen-led initiatives.
The project’s overall objective is to understand how knowledge and innovation systems can be adapted, made more inclusive and better governed to transform Europe’s food system outcomes with benefits for health, enterprise and the environment. Drawing on the success of the IFSTAL programme, ECI’s Food Systems Transformation Group leads work to create a FOSTER Academy.
