mit Shruti Patel (Kenia, Schweiz)

What does it mean to nourish both people and planet in the context of climate change, rising inequality, and poor-quality diets? Drawing on examples from inspiring organisations working across the Global South and North, Shruti Patel highlights promising, context-specific approaches while underscoring the limitations of one-size-fits-all solutions. She invites critical reflection on the trade-offs, power dynamics, and participatory processes essential to shaping fair and sustainable food futures. Input in English.

She worked for over 20 years on international development cooperation projects in Bangladesh, Romania, Tanzania, and Kenya where she comes from.
