Arrangementsbeskrivelse

We’re delighted to announce that Carolyn Steel is coming to Copenhagen on September the 30th to give a talk about food and the city.  

We hope to discuss with her the potential of building a fairer and more diverse food system, both globally and in Denmark, and understand the role that alternative food networks and farmers’ markets can play in making that change. 

Invited along to the evening is GRACE KBH who do fantastic work in providing meals and shelter for temporarily unhoused people in Copenhagen, and to whom proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated. 

After the talk, there will be fish and chips at Lille Bakery, purchase your tickets here: https://slowfooddanmark.nemtilmeld.dk/26/

The evening is organised by Grønt Marked and Slow Food Danmark, as part of a series of events to highlight and celebrate the work done by the winners of the 2023 Slow Food Danmark Awards.
