Hi SCORAI,

Lots of pessimism about the state of our world on this listserve, so I'd like to draw your attention to something very hopeful, coming out of the Belmont Funded project Co-Creating Sustainable Food Supply Chains, which SCORAI is involved in.

On 16 September 2025, the City of Karlsruhe hosted its first Food Summit, bringing together around 50 invited participants from civil society, business, research, and local administration. Held in the Karlskantine, the municipal canteen known for its sustainable approach, the event marked a new step in shaping a healthy and fair food future for the city.

By the end of the day, participants agreed: the first Karlsruhe Food Summit was a resounding success. It demonstrated what can happen when people from very different sectors come together around a shared goal – to make healthy, fair and sustainable food the standard for all. A second Karlsruhe Food Summit is already planned for spring 2026.
