In celebration of Dutch Circular Economy Week (15-19 January) we are offering two master classes from our suite of sustainability education programs at a discounted rate. On Wed 17th January, we invite you to take part in Building Circular Food Systems . (Note: spaces are limited)

The global food system is broken. Learn from the experts about the root causes and how systems can guide us to alternative and resilient agriculture practices.

Unsustainable agricultural practices and their impact on the environment are global drivers of climate change, biodiversity loss, and future food insecurity. In 2015, Metabolic published the Global Food System Analysis , offering a comprehensive overview of how our food system operates. Yet it can be difficult to translate today.

This Masterclass is relevant for a range of individuals and organizations, including progressive industry groups and city delegations. We'll take you through the food system and help you apply the lessons. We use our own experience, such as developing polydomes, aquaponics systems and a food forest, to highlight living examples and pitfalls of urban agriculture. And we share our experience working with cities, regions and industry leaders on developing transformative strategies around food.

What you leave with:

• Systemic understanding or why we need to change the food system.

• Concrete interventions that actually make a difference when implemented.

• Inspiration of alternative agriculture systems that cut through the hype.
