Webinars and Skype conversations are to be taken to an entirely new level. A test has now been conducted to determine if it is possible to hold a conference digitally (partially at least, as face-to-face networking remains difficult to replicate). The Swedish Ministry of the Environment and Energy and research funders are curious about the outcome, hoping it could pave the way for more travel-free

It worked out – in the end. The enormous European investment in food development, “Food KIC”, did not go to the consortium of which Lund University was a part in 2016. But that was then.

More healthy food products in the shops and more sustainable production: these
