Holistic Food Systems

Course description
In this program we will take an in-depth look at how contemporary lifestyles are changing our food habits.

The once common wholesome recipes made at home are being forgotten in favor of processed factory-made products. Although it is very convenient to opt for ready-made food there are some social, health and ecological consequences that require us to think about whether this is the best way we can nurture our bodies, preserve our natural resources and support our local communities.
During the Holistic Food Systems program our main aim is to experience together the art of cooking from a holistic perspective and share our views, experiences and discoveries in relation to it. Theoretical sessions will be linked with hands-on activities, like harvesting, cooking and establishing your own kitchen garden, as well as sensorial games and relevant movies.
