Community in the food system, with oneself and with the microbiome
With Dr. Jasmin Peschke and Lea Sprügel
8th & 15th May 2023, 14.00–16.00 CEST (Central European Summer Time)
A meal forms community offers opportunities to meet and increases enjoyment. In the community, eating and living habits can also be reflected upon and changes can be sustainably established. In addition to table fellowship, our food choices are the basis for relationships.
What we eat is directly related to the health of the earth. Thus, the way in which food is produced, processed and traded matters. Collaboration based on trust and appreciation is the best approach. The topic of food and community will be very broadly defined. An aspect of community even exists in the microbiome, which wants to be nurtured. The workshop will comprise contributions, conversation and practical exercises.
