Einkaufsplanung, Food Waste und Dialog im Quartier

Leave a comment

In zwei Artikel des Guardian (hier und hier)  wird auf den Zusammenhang von Food Waste und den Pandemiebestimmungen in UK eingegangen:

Während dem ersten Lock Down sind die Food Waste Zahlen stark gesunken, hauptsächlich auf Grund einer besseren Einkaufsplanung und weil wenig auswärts gegessen wurde. Danach stiegen die Zahlen wieder an, haben aber nicht das Niveau von 2019 erreicht.

An der Veranstaltung Dialog im Quartier – Essen ohne Food Waste vom 16. April 2021, 15.30 – 18:00, GZ Buchegg stehen Haltbarkeitsdatum, Einkaufsplanung und kreative Ansätze zur Vermeidung von Food Waste im Haushalt im Mittelpunkt.

Weitere Veranstaltungen:

Lokale Nahrungsversorgung mitgestalten, 5. März 2021, 15:30 – 18:00 Uhr, online

Meine Ernährung, meine Entscheidungen, mein gesunder Planet, 28. Mai 2021, 15:30 – 18:00 Uhr, online

Dialog im Quartier ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe des PSC, die Experten und Quartierbevölkerung zusammenbringt.

What`s next after the ECJ judgement on gene editing?

Leave a comment

“We need a societal discourse in which the political and ethical dimensions of the research in question are explored. What sort of agricultural system do we want? How are the new technologies to be used?” emphazised Prof. Matthias Mahlmann, lawyer and member of the Swiss Ethics Commission for Non-Human Biotechnology, at a recent panel discussion on genome editing at the www.tnam2019.ethz.ch.

The participants of the TNAM 2019 conference take a tri-national view on the main issues and potential consequences of the ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on organisms obtained by mutagenesis.

The Zurich-Basel Plant Center is pleased to invite you to the public final event of the Marie Curie Fellowship program IDP BRIDGES – Bridging Science and Policy.

At this event, we will be featuring a key note talk given by Dr. Marco Lambertini, Director General at WWF International. He will present highlights of the Living Planet Report 2016. He will show how scientific evidence has been integrated in this report and how researchers can actively contribute to WWF. For example, to strategy papers. Moreover, he will define the role of WWF International as an NGO at the interface of policy, science and the civic sector.

Subsequently, the IDP BRIDGES PhD fellows will present and discuss their PhD projects, which they are going to finalize soon. More details …
