## What can you find here? 

These days many innovations are taking place through and in the food system. There is quite a debate about our food and how it is produced. Although this process is a slow one, more and more consumers are willing to make a conscious choice for healthier and more sustainable food. A healthier food pattern has positive effects on public health and health care costs. A sustainable food pattern has positive effects on the environment and the (city) landscape. 

Over the last decades, the food production chain has changed significantly. Agriculture and food production have been further intensified, industrialized and globalized by, among other things, increased trade, innovations and increased prosperity. The power relationships in the food chains have changed. Consumer preferences have changed worldwide for more processed products, more meat and dairy, more sugar and beverages containing sugar. This has consequences for the climate and for the environment. The food system, from production to consumption, contributes greatly (20-30%) to global greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to climate change (UNEP, 2016). In addition, there are food-related public health problems and problems with the quality of the environment. 

This wiki contains information and exercises about innovations in the food sector.

## Target group
