We happily announce this years' ELLS Case-study competition in Vienna hosted by BOKU. In this case you will rethink the topic of Urban Food Production and Rapid Urban Development.
Did you ever wonder:
- how to ensure sustainable urban food supply?
- who are the important actors to facilitate a change in urban food systems?
- how a possible future of sustainable urban areas could look like?
We did wonder!
Together with experts from several disciplines - organic agriculture, landscape architecture, systems thinking and many more - you will go beyond the motivation and interests of involved stakeholders to get a holistic understanding of this years' case. From there you take your knowledge and experiences and start creating scenarios for its future development.
If you want to work...
...on a real world case and reinvent a case of urban food production...
...in an intercultural and transdisciplinary team...
...in a motivated and complex environment...
...than SIGN UP!
You will present your scenarios in November at the Wageningen University in Netherlands. You can win with your case a prize of 1000€.
