The commitment of Toulouse students in the Food Change program
Students at ICD Business School Toulouse participating in Food Change, the agri-food minor, are delving into the seasonality of food in its second year. This focus on food seasonality is a critical topic aimed at reconnecting consumers with the realities of food production in the context of the Anthropocene.
Food Change: An Innovative Agri-Food Program
The Food Change minor is dedicated to raising student awareness of the challenges facing the agri-food sector. This program questions current production and consumption practices while promoting sustainable and responsible solutions. This year, food seasonality is at the heart of the discussions, a theme designed to bridge the gap between consumers and environmentally respectful agricultural cycles.
An Immersion into Agri-Food Realities
To kick off the second year of Food Change, our students from the Toulouse campus took part in the Agri-Agro Pro event on December 4th at the Toulouse National Wholesale Market (MIN). They attended conferences and expert pitches, conducted interviews with key stakeholders, and participated in roundtable discussions. This event gave them a deeper understanding of seasonality issues and offered a tangible perspective on the challenges faced by the industry.
