“Meals are central to the food system and bring together a wide range of elements and actors, from production to consumption. Through new interdisciplinary research and collaboration with stakeholders across society, we aim to increase knowledge about how meals can strengthen preparedness, sustainability, and competitiveness,” says Line Gordon, Director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, who led the PLATE application. Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University will host the center, in direct collaboration with researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, KTH, and the Beijer Institute at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. "It is fantastic that Stockholm University, through Stockholm's Resilience Centre, will be the seat of this food centre, within the framework of Formas' call. Participating partners include Axfoundation, Boden municipality, Uppsala municipality, Stockholm City, Gävleborg region, The Swedish Food Agency, Compass Group, MAX Burgers, Martin & Servera, TV4/Köket.se, WWF, Reformaten, Eldrimner, and LiveGreen.
