Learning History of the Sustainable Food Lab (Fourth Installment)
By Susan Sweitzer | January 2006 | View Full Text
Abstract
The Sustainable Food Lab brings together leaders from businesses, governments, farm groups and non-governmental organizations to create mainstream, sustainable food systems.
This fourth installment of the Learning History of the Sustainable Food Laboratory follows the Mid-Course Review at EARTH University in Costa Rica in November 2005. The intention of this history is to use the words of the participants themselves—captured in the right-hand column of this document—to describe the thinking and learning of the group at this stage in the process in order to support further reflection and learning as the work of the Food Lab goes forward.
At this time, the Food Lab has consisted of five major
events and many activities and meetings in between:
- The Foundation Workshop in Bergen, Netherlands (June 2004)
- Three Learning Journeys in Brazil (August and September 2004)
- The Innovation Retreat in the United States (November 2004)
- The Design Studio in Austria (April 2005)
- The Mid-Course Review in Costa Rica (November 2005)
This chapter builds on the previous three Learning Histories: Chapter One: the Foundation Workshop (June 2004), Chapter Two: the Learning Journeys and Innovation Retreat (November 2004), and Chapter Three: the Design Studio (April 2005).
