14: Safe Nutrition – Between Individual Self-Realization and Societal Goals

-
Erwin-Schrödinger-Saal
Breakout /
in deutscher Sprache

You are what you eat: Diet has become a matter of self-understanding, reaching from sustainability aspects to intolerances. At the same time, nutrition is a societal issue. Which forms of production are desired, which ones are to be rejected – because they endanger our health, the environment or national and European interests?
