The Chair aims to become a meeting point for the different food systems’ stakeholders.
The Chair aims to generate, disseminate and transfer knowledge about alternative food systems that enable a social transformation and “live” rural areas throughout the promotion of agroecology, knowledge co-generation, social and solidarity economy and social innovations.
