Registration is now open for an upcoming series of exciting roundtable discussions, designed to inform and guide EU policy and strategy towards the implementation of a healthy and sustainable food system. 

Nutritics is proud to be the technology partner on the #LIFE Programme Climate Smart Chef project, which aims to contribute to the development and implementation of the EU Climate Policy and the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy by actively involving European chefs as promoters of low emission, nutritious and affordable diets, and to promote a mainstream debate on food as a key factor for climate change mitigation.

The other partners of the project are Fondazione Barilla, the Italian culinary school ALMA – La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana, JAMK University of Applied Sciences and training specialists ENAIP NET.

The project has two main aims:

  1. To develop a comprehensive approach to giving chefs the skills, training and tools to help drive a transition to healthy and sustainable food.
  2. To produce a strategic policy paper (Climate Smart Chefs Vision 2030) for integrating this into EU policy on food systems.

This Vision 2030 paper will be published in July 2023 and used to engage with EU policy makers and to contribute to transforming food systems in the European Union, as set by the Farm to Fork Strategy.

As part of our contribution to Climate Smart Chef, Nutritics will be hosting a series of three online roundtable sessions called ‘Technology Tools for Chefs’, in December 2022, February 2023 and April 2023. These sessions will aim to get input from other projects working in this area, from the food industry and chefs themselves, and from civil society working on food system challenges.

Topic-focused roundtables

  • 1st December 2022
  • 8th February 2023
  • 26th April 2023

These roundtables will consist of parallel sessions focusing on each topic:

  • Healthy sustainable diets
  • Food waste
  • Technology tools for chefs

A summary roundtable will be held in June 2023; exact dates are yet to be confirmed. This final session will provide a summary of the discussions and an opportunity to review the draft of the Vision 2030 paper and discuss how it will be shared with policy makers across the EU.
